NOTE

If the monitor is being used by an operator whose workstation has a higher priority level than your own, the

system displays the message "Locked by User(n)", where (n) is the hardware identity of the workstation

concerned.

(1) The [RUN], [HOLD], [STEP], and [LOCK] keys provide monitor related functions as described next.

(a) The [RUN] key selects and runs any of a monitor's sequences. If the monitor has only one sequence,

then pressing the [RUN] key runs the sequence either from the first step or, i it has been stopped, from its last registered

step. If there is more than one sequence, the system prompts you to choose the one you require. Use the arrow keys to

step through the sequences and press [GO] when the one you require is displayed. Pictures of the sequence appear on

the selected monitor and continue to do so until the sequence is halted. Pressing [QUIT] returns you to the Main menu

but does not interrupt the sequence.

(b) The [HOLD] key stops a sequence at any step. When used with the [STEP] key, it also lets you step

through a picture sequence at your own pace rather than using the rate which has been programmed into the system. To

stop a sequence, press the [HOLD] key when the view - you require is displayed. To step through a sequence, press

[STEP] when a sequence is running or when the sequence has been halted with the [HOLD] key. Each time you press

[STEP], the system displays the next step and then continues to run the sequence. To step through all of the frames

within a sequence, you must repeatedly use [STEP] followed by [HOLD].

system releases the monitor if:

The maximum lock time expires.

An automatic preset scene is invoked.

To lock a monitor, first press the [LOCK] key while it is de-selected. Then select the picture or picture

sequence you require and press [QUIT]. To unlock a monitor, press the selected [LOCK] key again and then [QUIT].

d. The [CAMERA] soft-key displays the picture being received from any of your cameras.
