Additional vote signals
In addition to the always defined
Yes
s
and No
s
signal sets, defines the
Abstain
s
and/or
Excuse
s
signal sets. These are intended to be tied to additional seat vote buttons.
•
Quorum & passage lights
Defines the passage digital signals,
TallyQuorum, TallyCarried, Tally23Majority.
These are digital signals used by the server to transmit vote status to the control system
"live" (during a vote).
•
Seat Status Adjust
Defines the
Change
s
signal set (one per seat), used by the control system after a vote to
change how a seat is voted. Each pulse of
Change
i
adjusts the seat’s status to the next
possible value. This value will be echoed by the
Status
I
signal (when defined). (See
below.)
•
Seat Status Feedback
Defines the
Status
s
signal set (one per seat), used by the control system during a vote to
transmit to the control system how each seat is voting. Intended to select a frame of a
touchpanel animated object. See "Operations" section, below, for a list of possible signal
values.
•
Tally actual ballots to control system only after floor is closed
Checking this box prevents the actual votes from being tallied to the control system.
•
Agenda item setting
Defines the
SetAgenda
signal. Creates a new record in the
Agenda
table and sets its
description
field. The
number
and
name
fields will not be set. Value is immediately
echoed back by the
AgendaEcho
signal (when defined). This signal is accepted before a
vote only (ignored thereafter).
•
Agenda item description
Defines the
AgendaEcho
signal. Selected/entered vote description is echoed to control
system via this signal. The description may originate from either the control system or the
Voting Computer.
•
Local feedback
Check this option to define the three error signals (
ErrString, ErrNumber,
and
ErrTrigger
) in the signal block. These signals are routinely used by the server to report
errors to the control system. See the “Signal Reference” beginning on page 78 for more
information. If these signals are not defined here, errors are reported to the control system
through the COM Settings signal block. If that signal block does not have its error signals
defined, the errors are not reported to the control system at all, although they are still
added to the server’s error log.
•
Agenda Item Scroller
Select a scroller here. This scroller will display all records from the
Agenda
table
which have not yet been voted upon. A record picked from this scroller is used to display
the vote description and to properly record the vote once it has concluded. Such a
Pick
signal is only accepted before a vote; it is ignored thereafter. (You cannot change the
agenda after the vote has begun.) Select
(None)
if agenda items will not be set from
the control system.
•
Auto-name vote
The server generates a name for the vote based on the current date and time, in the form
yymmdd_hhmmss.
Applies only to an otherwise unnamed vote; and only when the vote is
started from control system (via the
Start
signal). Note that this option is independent of
the option of the same name under the
Voting Computer Interface
tab. This option is
disabled if the
Start
signal is undefined (
Basic vote control
checkbox is unchecked), or if
both
Agenda item setting
is unchecked and
Agenda item scroller
is set to
(None)
. In
the first case, a vote cannot be started from the control system so the issue is moot; in the
second case, votes started from the control system will
always
auto-name unnamed votes.
