Request-to-Speak Console
Voting Console
Description
This signal enables/disables the signal block.
Direction
control system to Voting Computer
Type
Digital
Value
Assert to enable the signal block
De-assert to disable the signal block
Expected Reply
Success: Assertion of the signal block’s
Enabled
signal
Failure: An error condition is raised, typically
Err_ENABLE
Assert this signal to enable the signal block. (The signal block must be enabled
prior to use. If not, receipt by the server of most any of the signal block’s other
signals will raise the
Err_OBJECT_NOT_LOADED
error.)
A signal block which fails to enable properly raises an error condition. This may be
a specific error such as
Err_FILE_NOT_FOUND
. In the absence of a specific
error, the error will be
Err_ENABLE
. The signal block remains disabled. To try to
assert the
Enable
signal again, it will of course first be necessary to de-assert it. If
the server receives this de-assert, it will not consider it an error (even though the
signal block was not enabled) and simply ignores it.
RTS Console enable:
§
All attached scrollers are
automatically enabled as well.
§
Optional.
Each seat name is sent
through each
Name
s
signal.
§
Each “save file” table modification
timestamp is sent through each
DateTime
f
signal.
§
The last known state of the queue
set is re-established, using the
appropriate signals to adjust the
console display, set all the seat
button feedbacks, and set the value
of the
MicSelect
signal.
§
The
Enabled
signal is asserted
Voting Console enable:
§
The agenda scroller, if defined, is
automatically enabled as well.
§
Optional.
Each seat name is sent
through each
Name
s
signal.
§
The
Enabled
signal is asserted
Note that on an unsuccessful enable, the error raised may result from any of the
enable operations. In such a case, any successfully enabled scrollers are
immeidately disabled again, and the signal block remains disabled.
RTS Console disable:
§
All attached scrollers are
automatically disabled
§
The string “[N/A]” is sent through
each
DateTime
f
signal.
§
The
MicSelect
signal is reset (
i.e.,
set to 0).
§
Enabled
signal is de-asserted
Voting Console disable:
§
The agenda scroller, if defined, is
automatically disabled
§
Enabled
signal is de-asserted
Comments
When an RTS Console signal block is enabled, all request-to-speak buttons at all
seats are active. It is recommended therefore that RTS Console signal blocks only
be enabled when the floor is opened to debate, and disabled thereafter.
By contrast, the Voting Console signal block will not respond to seat buttons until
the floor is opened for a vote by operator action. Therefore, Voting Console signal
blocks are typically enabled for the duration of the session, usually by by auto-
enabling them (see the “Auto-enable” configuration option, page 33).
