In Group Job Select mode only the JOB button on the home screen of CLARiTY is disabled, as 
job selection can only be initiated from the Master LPA, as shown in Figure 8-23.

Note: 

Standard  LPAs  in  Slave  mode  and  Slave  LPAs  (No  CLARiTY  LCD)  accepts 

communications from CLARiTY Configuration Manager and other software packages, e.g. 
CLARiSOFT.

 

 

 

 

Using Master/Slave Mode - Group Control Mode

 

Group Control mode allows Slave LPAs to be controlled from the Master LPA CLARiTY interface. 
In addition to the parameters available in Group Job Select mode, additional Setup and 
Diagnostics CLARiTY pages are available for setup and diagnostics information. 

 

 

 

The Master LPA

 

In Group Control mode, the CLARiTY Operator interface acts differently to that of a standalone 
LPA. 
Using  only  the  screen  of  the  Master  LPA  it  is  possible  to  view  Diagnostic  and  edit  Set  Up 
information on the Master and any chosen Slave LPA, as shown in the example below.
