AccuSwitch Configuration File Overview
Configurator Editing Guidelines
This section describes the options that are available to expedite the data-
entry process and eliminate common errors such as differences in spelling
and entry of inappropriate data.
Automatic Table Entry
This option will expedite the data entry process and eliminate errors due to
differences in spelling and entry of inappropriate data.
In cases where a controller board or device must be entered on more than
one table, the information entered on the initial entry table will be automat-
ically copied (or can be copied as a selectable item) to all secondary tables
(including Saturn tables).
Entering information in the same order as the tables appear in the Jupiter
drop-down menu will eliminate most repeat entries. For example, when a
CM-4400 is entered on the Network Description table, the name will be
added automatically to the Serial Protocol table.
Note You cannot enter data on secondary tables first. For example, you must enter
a new VM on the Network Description table. Again, data should be entered in
the same order as the tables appear in the pull-down menu.
When certain items are deleted, the Configurator application will automat-
ically delete the corresponding entries on other tables when appropriate.
For example, when the name of an input is deleted from the Switcher Input
table, the input will be deleted automatically from the other corresponding
tables. The same is true for an output deleted from the Switcher Output
table. For instance, if the VTR12 row on the Switcher Input table is deleted,
the corresponding row on the CP Input Set table (the row defining the cat-
egory/number keys and mnemonic) will be deleted as well.
Entering or Editing Information in a Jupiter Table
Note New entries should be made at the bottom of tables whenever possible to
avoid disrupting system operation. If entries are made to the middle of tables
you must be prepared to clear battery-protected memory (Pmem) in the CM-
4400 and re-establish switcher status and machine links. Clearing Pmem is
described in
Clearing Persistent Memory (PMEM) on page 106 .
Follow these steps to Enter or Edit information in a Jupiter Table:
