Interpreting Analog, Text and LED controls 

These controls are part of the Advanced Feature Pack and are ordered separately from part 
8706-01. 
 
The example page below has an image and on its borders are two analog, two text and two 
LED controls.  This page is not part of the template project provided with the LANServer. It 
was created to illustrate the Analog, Text and LED Controls. 

 

 
 

 

 
Flashing  controls  indicate  a  problem.  Flashing  means,  rapidly  toggling  from  one  state  to 
another. In the case of Text controls this means flashing between the ‘on’ and ‘off’ text. In 
the  case  of  LED  controls  this  means flashing  between  the  ‘on’  and  ‘off’  images  and  in  the 
case of an Analog control, flashing means toggling between a ‘-1’ and ‘?’ 
 
Each  control  is  configured  by  specifying  the  name  of  a  Data  Array  and  an  offset  into  that 
Data  Array.  If  the  Data  Array  does  not  exist  or  if  he  offset  is  invalid  then  the  controls  will 
‘flash’ 
 
If  the  Browser  is  ‘offline’  from  the  LANServer  then  the  controls  will  flash.  Offline  means, 
disconnected or that cookies have expired. 

If 

LED 

controls

displays  in  grey  then  this 
indicates a problem 

If  Analog  controls  flash 
and display a ‘-1’ and a ‘?” 
then 

this

If
