<h1>The MultiSensor Icon Editor</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>A MultiSensor Icon lets you display one of N icons,
|
|
depending on which one of N associated sensors is active.
|
|
For example, you could have three icons displaying the three positions of
|
|
a CTC lever; see image below. But it doesn't have to be three.
|
|
For example, you could have ten icons representing the positions of a
|
|
thumbwheel switch.</p>
|
|
<p>The user can move to the next or previous icon by
|
|
clicking on the icon as described below. This will deactivate the current sensor
|
|
and activate the newly-selected one.</p>
|
|
<p>People often use this in concert with
|
|
<a href="../sensorgroup/SensorGroupFrame.shtml">Sensor Groups</a> to make sure that the
|
|
layout can only activate one sensor.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The way icons are changed in the MultiSensor Icon Editor is the same as they are changed
|
|
in the other Icon Editors. The <strong>Change Icon...</strong>button and the Catalog function
|
|
identically with other Icon Editors.<br>
|
|
The <strong>Find Icons</strong> menu and its items are also identical.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See the <a href="IconAdder.shtml">Icon Editors page</a> and the <a href=
|
|
"../catalog/ImageIndex.shtml">Image Index Editor page</a> for details on their use.</p>
|

<h2>Contents of the MultiSensor Icon Editor</h2>
|
|
<img src="images/MultiSensorIcon.png" class="floatRight" alt="add multi sensor icon">
|
|
<p>The icons in the MultiSensor Icon Editor differ only from other Icon Editors
|
|
in that there are several "active"
|
|
icons. Each corresponds to e.g. a switch or lever position or some other
|
|
sequence of icons.
|
|
On the Panel that's using the icon, the positions can be cycled
|
|
through in sequence in either forward or reverse order.
|
|
|
|
<p>A position can be deleted by pressing the <strong>Delete</strong> button
|
|
under the icon. Additional positions can be added by pressing the <strong>Add another
|
|
Icon</strong> button.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each active icon must have a sensor associated with it. To assign a sensor to an icon
|
|
position, drag a row from the Sensor table to the place in the icon position pane labeled
|
|
"undefined". When the sensor row is dropped on the label, it will display the sensor
|
|
name.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The
|
|
<strong>Up <-> Down</strong>
|
|
and
|
|
<strong>Right <-> Left </strong>
|
|
radio buttons determine where the user clicks to
|
|
go to the next or previous sensor icon. If
|
|
<strong>Up <-> Down</strong>
|
|
is selected, clicking in the
|
|
top half will advance the selection. If
|
|
<strong>Right <-> Left</strong>
|
|
is selected, clicking in the
|
|
right half will advance the selection.
|
|
Note that this works best when all the images are the same size.
|
|
It can be difficult to properly click on the icons if they vary in size.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When all the active icons are assigned sensors, the <strong>Add to Panel</strong> button
|
|
will become active and it can be pressed to install the MultiSensor onto the Panel.</p>
