The camera number is the number of the camera that the
programmer wants to have displayed. The camera numbers can
be in any order; the Allegiant system can work with a totally
random sequence. This number may be any valid camera
number. Note the cell prompts (">" "<") before and after the
camera number.

Monitor Number

The monitor number is the monitor on which the above-
mentioned camera is to be displayed. A single sequence may
switch one monitor or it may switch multiple monitors.
Note the cell prompts (">" "<") before and after the monitor
number.

Dwell Time

C0010 M004>D05<12-25-88
The dwell entry is the time, expressed in seconds, that the
selected camera is to appear on the display monitor. For
example, using the above sample program, in step 1, camera
10 will appear on monitor 4 for five seconds. The dwell time
may be from one to 60 seconds. If more than a sixty second
dwell time is required, simply enter the same camera and
monitor combination in the following step along with an
additional dwell time. In addition to the numeric entry, the
user may choose three other options as a sequence dwell entry
- HOLD, UNLOAD, and SALVO. SALVO will be explained
later in the section on the SalvoSwitching
cell prompts (">" "<") before and after the dwell number.
The HOLD option allows the programmer to run a sequence
to a certain point and stop. This point can be considered like
a "home" location which will be displayed unless the user
takes a "tour" with the run command. The sequencer will
then run until the next hold is encountered. To enter a
HOLD dwell, key in '62' as the dwell time. In the example,
cameras #10, 8, and 6 will sequence on monitor #4, with
each being displayed for 5 seconds. Cam #20 will be
displayed for 3 seconds before switching to cam #1. Since step
5 contains a HOLD command in the dwell column, Monitor
#4 will display camera 1 until the operator continues the
sequence by depressing the RUN key on the keyboard.
The UNLOAD option allows the programmer to run a
sequence to a certain point, then automatically unload the
sequence from its monitor. The sequence still remains stored
in the system memory. To enter an UNLOAD command,
key in '63' as the dwell time.
15.1.3 Sequence Programming Instructions
Note that a sequence may be any length as long as the combined
total of all sequences does not exceed 3000 steps.
In the program mode, the monitor display shows the step
number and sequence length, and cell prompts appear in the
camera identification display area.

Press PROGRAM and verify the indicator lights.
Key in the sequence number (1 through 60) using the
numeric keypad and press ENTER. The video monitor
display should change to a default appearance as shown
below:
023 S0001 L0001 12:01:01
>C0001<M001 D02 12-25-883.
Key in the number of the first camera to appear in the
sequence using the numeric keypad.
If the entry is correct, press ENTER or use the joystick to
move right. At this point, if the camera is available to the
user (i.e., the camera has not been restricted in the lockout
table), the system will enter the camera into the sequence.
Verify the camera is correct. If the joystick was moved right
to 'enter' the camera, the display will then appear as:
023 S0001 L0001 12:01:01
C0001>M001<D02 12-25-88
In this field, key in the number of the monitor on which the
camera should appear.
If the entry is correct, move the joystick right. The video
display should then look like this:
023 S0001 L0001 12:01:01
C0001 M001>D02< 12-25-888.
Key into the numeric keypad the duration in seconds (1 to
60) that the above camera is to be displayed on the selected
monitor. In addition to seconds, the user may enter 61 for
'salvo' mode, 62 for 'hold', or 63 for 'unload'. The 'salvo'
mode means go to the next step immediately (no dwell), and
'hold' means stop the sequence on this step. 'Unload'
removes the sequence from the active monitor workspace. If
using the 'salvo' mode, be sure to enter a dwell in seconds as
the last step of the 'salvo' switch. A 'salvo' entry would
change the display to look like this:
023 S0001 L0001 12:01:01
C0001 M001>SLV< 12-25-88
A 'hold' entry would look like this:
023 S0001 L0001 12:01:01
C0001 M001>HLD< 12-25-88
An 'unload' entry would look like this:
023 S001 L001 12:01:01
C0001 M001>ULD<12-25-88
