2.3.4 Addressable Device Pop-Up Menus
Addressable Device Pop-Up menus provide the operator with device specific information and controls. The device
pop-up menu is activated by clicking the right mouse button on any addressable device. The menu that appears
depends on the type of device, the situation, and the rights of the user. Some options are common to all address-
able devices, and some devices have functions that are device type specific. The following commands are available
for most devices through addressable device pop-up menus, although access can be restricted for some options:
•
Description
- Selecting Description brings up a small display box which shows the device's provided
description. This may be a description entered by the system administrator or a description read from a
panel on the network.
• Enter Operator Response - This option calls up a form with the option to select among a number of
predefined operator responses for reporting various conditions and operations related to the device. There
is also a custom response field. The selected response is logged to the history file.
• History of Device - Opens the history manager with preset filters to only display the history
information relating to the selected device. Refer to the System Utilities manual for more information on
the History Manager.
• View/Play Text, Bitmap, Video, Audio - If the device has any linked media, an option will appear
on the pull down to view or play the linked file. Devices with linked media have an asterisk next to the
icon on the Floor Plan Display.
•
Zoom
- The Zoom Commands allow quick selection of various zoom levels as well as the ability to return
to the previous zoom level. When a zoom is performed, the zoom will center on the current mouse pointer
location.
•
Acknowledge, Silence, and Reset
- These are examples of device specific commands. They are
based upon macros and are definable by the system administrator. An asterisk on the menu next to an
option indicates that control of the device belongs to another workstation. A workstation must have control
of a device to execute device specific macro commands.
