Signal List Configuration
Signal List Configuration
This section deals with how to edit and update a Signal List.
Signal Lists are created by the ‘Signal List Editor‘ and stored as separate .slx files to the Core configuration ( .csv
file).
The 'Signal List Editor‘ produces the cold start file ( gui_config.tcl ) to modify the console GUI's Signal List
display.
The gui_config.tcl can ONLY be uploaded to the remote system's cold start data. This means that you
MUST be prepared to restart the mc²56 MKII in order to change its Signal List configuration.
The principles are similar to editing the Core configuration ( config.tcl ); the best approach is as follows:
1. AdminHD must have a Core configuration with some relevant signals. Therefore, first download or open a
Core configuration as described earlier.
2. Open the 'Signal List Editor' sub window.
3. If possible, download the existing Signal List configuration from the mc²56 MKII control system.
Alternatively, if you can't connect to the mc²56 MKII, open an existing signallist.slx file. This can be a file
which you saved earlier or requested from your configuration engineer.
If you have neither a network connection or an existing signallist.slx file, then you will need to create a new
Signal List and build a configuration.
4. Save the configuration as a signallist.slx file - this allows you to open it later, or move it to another
AdminHD computer.
5. Edit the Signal List.
6. Backup the system's existing cold start files.
7. Export the Signal List configuration as a gui_config.tcl file - this puts the data into a format which can
be read by the control system.
8. Upload the gui_config.tcl file from your computer to the mc²56 MKII control system.
6. Cold start the mc²56 MKII to see your changes take affect.
Workflow Suggestion:
If you are making changes to both the Core and Signal List configurations, then download and save both sets of
data (
config.csv and signallist.slx ) while you are connected to the control system. Once editing is complete,
export both cold start files ( config.tcl and gui_config.tcl ), and upload them to the control system. You can then
perform a single cold start to action all your changes.
