Properties tab – Tally
The Tally object displays a matrix of up to 16 tallies. With the X and Y lists the number of tallies in X (horizontal)
and Y (vertical) direction can be determined. First select the number of tallies in X direction because the number
of available tallies in Y direction depends on this. Depending on this selection on the left side there is displayed
the corresponding amount of items with their matrix coordinates. With the Background and Grid lists the colors
of background and grid of the whole object is set. Width determines the width of the grid lines in pixels.
Selecting a tally item on the left side of the dialog enables to edit its properties. Either a Source tally or a source
independent Software tally can be selected. A source tally is a hardware or software tally as used in the Setup
source dialog. For such a tally one number of the Source list must be selected. This list considers 3 tallies per
source in the order of the sources, please see below:
Number in the list Tally
0 Tally 1 of source 0
1 Tally 2 of source 0
2 Tally 3 of source 0
3 Tally 1 of source 1
... ...
The source independent software tallies are defined in the HYDRA open protocol, please refer also to section
11.3.10 Tally related commands (Adjust tally)). The Software list provides 256 entries (0 - 255) for such predefined
tallies.
With Shape the shape of the tally can be set to round or square. On and Off define the color for the on and off
state of the tally.
The state checkbox is only applicable, if software tallies are selected.
If the state checkbox is selected, then the tally colors are used as defined with On and Off above and the state
of the tally can be switched with the adjusttally command of the Hydra open protocol.
If the state checkbox is deselected, then the color of the tally can be overwritten with the adjusttally command.
Please refer to section
11.3.10 Tally related commands for more detailed information.
If the Text checkbox is selected, a text entered in the text box behind it is displayed on top of the tally. With
