• Start timer on tally
A count-up timer is placed in the first UMD line next to the UMD text starting with 00:00:00, when the tally is
set. When the tally is cleared the counter gets removed. This can for instance be used to show the time a
program is running by setting the tally when the program starts and clearing it when it is done. In combina-
tion with Set tally on alarm this can be used to show how long an alarm is present.
• Set tally on alarm
A tally is set if an alarm of the source is detected. The tally is cleared as soon as the alarm is no longer ac-
tive.
Only tallies that are configured as hardware output tallies or as software tallies can be used and
are itemized; please refer also to section
5.3.7 Setup source (Tally tab).
One tally may at one time only be used for one alarm method:
• Set Tally on alarm on the Tally tab of the Source properties dialog, (Setting of this tab)
• tally is enabled on the Alarm tab of the Source properties dialog,
• Enable tally on alarm is selected on the Alarm tab of the Module properties dialog, please
refer also to section
5.3.4 Setup module.
If one tally is already enabled in one of the other mentioned dialogs, it will not be available in the
tally list of this dialog.

The appearance of the tallies is associated with the object. The respective settings can be set in the Edit object
dialog box – Properties tab – Tally tab, see section

When displaying tallies together with other on-screen information, e.g. audio meters, artifacts
may appear on the screen. This might happen, if tallies are set to visible (Edit object – Properties
– Tally tab) and at the same time either UMDs are not selected or UMDs are selected together
with the inside option (Edit object – UMD tab).
