Control System GUI
All LYNX CardModules support a computer interface which allows setting the modules
parameters using a simple GUI interface. Access to all standard features
and in some
cases
extended features is possible using this interface. Due to the complex nature and
extensive user settings provided on the P AR 5610 the use of the control system is
recommended.
Note. Any settings made using the control system overrides any local settings
made on the module. All settings are stored in internal flash ram and will survive
power cycles and long term storage.
The following GUI screenshots and descriptions shown below describe the settings and
adjustments possible for the P AR 5610 CardModule.
The above screenshot shows the complete module GUI. The Device info area contains
information about the module including name and firmware revision. If used as part of a
larger system (using the LYNX central control system) the modules position and physical
loca
tion is displayed above the “locate” button.
Note. The Locate function is a tool used to quickly identify a module in larger
systems. Selecting “locate” will flash the module alarm LED yellow. (This does
not effect module operation)
The first screen displayed when the module is selected is the
Main Tab
this is a graphical
representation of the modules overall function and signal flow (left to right). Clicking on
the processing boxes will link to other GUI screens with more controls for these specific
functions.
The area at the bottom of the screen is the error log. Any fault condition (or event) will be
time stamped and entered into the log.
There are a number of
“Tabs” along the top of the screen which splits up the module
settings into a number of logical displays. The various GUI screens and primary functions
are described below.
