Salvo Sequence Programming Instructions; Sequence Function Summary - Philips LTC 8100 Series Installation Instructions Manual

9. If the entry is correct, press NEXT to proceed to the next
step. One full step line has now been entered and the next
step may be keyed in just as the first. Note as in the first
screen below that the length and step numbers have been
incremented, the camera number is incremented (if allowed
by the lockout tables), and the monitor number and dwell
have been copied from the previous line.

If a previously entered sequence were being edited, the length
cell would indicate the total number of lines in the sequence.
Also, the joystick may be used to move within an existing
sequence to simplify editing.
REMEMBER THAT THE JOYSTICK CANNOT BE
USED TO 'ADD' A NEW STEP. A NEW STEP CAN
ONLY BE ADDED BY PRESSING NEXT OR THE
ON/IN KEY.
10. Repeat above steps 3 to 9 to program subsequent steps.
When the sequence is completed, press PROGRAM/END
or RUN/EXECUTE to terminate the program mode. Note
that pressing RUN/EXECUTE will store the sequence, load
it on the monitor being controlled by the keyboard, then
immediately start it running. Pressing PROGRAM/END
simply stores the sequence for future use.

15.1.4 Salvo Sequence Programming Instructions

The SalvoSwitching feature is a method of switching video from
several cameras as a synchronized group on two or more monitors.
A practical example of the SalvoSwitching feature is an eight
story parking garage where each level has five cameras. The
system may be programmed to enable five monitors to display
the garage one floor at a time. When in the Run mode, the
system will switch from floor to floor displaying each group for a
pre-selected dwell time.
Before the SalvoSwitching feature can be programmed, it must be
understood how the Allegiant system executes a SalvoSwitching
program. The simplest way to think of the program information
is in terms of a spreadsheet type table consisting of steps, where
each step contains three columns of information.
The table shown below is a typical sequence used to illustrate the
SalvoSwitching feature:
Step Cam #
1 1
2 3
3 5
4 6
5 8
6 2
7 4
8 7
9 9
10 12
The program above uses five display monitors (1-5) to salvo
switch two groups of cameras. The first group of cameras is
Mon # Dwell
1 SALVO
2 SALVO
3 SALVO
4 SALVO
5 5
1 SALVO
2 SALVO
3 SALVO
4 SALVO
5 5
1,3,5,6 and 8. The second is 2,4,7,9 and 12. The SALVO dwell
command is entered by keying in '61'. A SALVO entry indicates
that the step will be performed concurrently with the next step.
Therefore, in the above program, cameras 1,3,5,6 and 8 will be
displayed on monitors 1,2,3,4 and 5, respectively, for 5 seconds
before being replaced by cameras 2,4,7,9 and 12 for 5 seconds.
This program will continue to sequence between these two
groups of cameras for a five second dwell as long as the Allegiant
system is in the Run mode.
If it is desired in the program to stop the display at a particular set
of salvo switched cameras, simply replace the dwell time for that
group of cameras with the HOLD command. For example, in
step 5 of the sample sequence, replacing the dwell time of 5
seconds with the HOLD command will display cameras 1,3,5,6
and 8 on monitors 1 through 5 until the operator continues
execution of the program by depressing the RUN button.
As with any sequence, the operation of a SalvoSwitching feature
sequence may be controlled from the keyboard with the
PREVIOUS, NEXT, RUN, and HOLD keys (see the
appropriate section of the manual). These keys treat each group of
salvo switched cameras as though they were a single step; the
cameras in the group always switch in unison. When the sequence
is running backwards, the camera groups SALVO switch the same
as when it is running forwards.

15.1.5 Sequence Function Summary

All programming key functions are summarized in the following
table:
PROGRAM/END Selects or terminates program mode
CLEAR Clears current entry
ENTER Store current entry
PREVIOUS Store entry and move up one step
NEXT Store entry and move down one step; add
new step if necessary
ON/IN Insert step before current step
OFF/OUT Delete current step
UP Move up one step
DOWN Move down one step, if step already exists
LEFT Move prompt left one cell
RIGHT Move prompt right one cell
LOCK/DELETE Erase all steps after current step
RUN/EXECUTE Exit, store, load, and run current sequence
EXAMPLE:
PROGRAM 10 ENTER 1 RIGHT 1 RIGHT 2 NEXT 2
NEXT 3 NEXT 4 NEXT 5 ENTER RUN/EXECUTE
The above program (sequence #10) will sequence cameras 1
through 5 on monitor 1 with each camera having a dwell of 2
seconds.
