This location is used to display the type of sequence currently
'loaded' on the monitor. An 'absolute sequence' is indicated by
the characters "
" which means that monitors programmed in
A
S
the sequence program refer to the exact monitor(s) from which
the sequence may be run. Sequences created using the system
keyboards are always of this type, so absolute sequences are the
only type possible in a base system. Sequences which are 'relative
sequences' are designated by the characters "
These sequences will run on any monitor or group of monitors
and can only be programmed using the optional LTC 8059/00
Master Control Software for Windows or the LTC 8850/00
Graphical User Interface software package with a personal
computer.
10.2.9 Locations 10 and 11 - Sequence Number
The sequence number currently 'active' for the monitor is
displayed in these two locations. This is a number between 1 and
60, or 00 to indicate that no sequence is loaded.
10.2.10 Location 12 - Sequence Status Indication
This location indicates the status of the sequence 'active' in the
monitor. There are four possible character combinations:
1.
"^

R
forward direction.
2.
"
" indicates the current sequence is sequencing in a reverse
R
V
direction.
3.
"^
" indicates the sequence is stopped, but if started again
S
would sequence in a forward direction.
4.
"
" indicates the sequence is stopped, but if started again
S

would sequence in a reverse direction.
10.3 Monitor Message
The monitor message is a stationary 12 character title which may
be placed on a monitor instead of the System Status display. A
specific monitor message can be programmed from either the
keyboard (see User Function 17) or the optional LTC 8350/00
Master Control Software package or the LTC 8850/00 Graphical
User Interface software package.
10.4 Broadcast Message
A message can be sent by the operator of the personal computer
using the optional LTC 8350/00 Master Control Software
package or the LTC 8850/00 Graphical User Interface software
package to all the monitors in the system. This message may be
up to 24 characters long, and can be used to notify all users at all
monitor locations of important information. The message, along
with its beginning and ending time and date, is also printed out
on the logging printer, if one is connected; and any
acknowledgment from users is also recorded. The broadcast
duration may be set for 1 to 60 seconds. The message is displayed
on a line by itself.
