Comments
This is one of two signals that can be used to start the voting sequence; the other
is the Attendance signal.
In either case, if an agenda item is required and one has not been selected or
entered, the following string is sent through the ErrString signal:
Please select or enter an agenda item description.
• An agenda item is only required however if
the Auto-name an unnamed vote when
started from Voting Computer box is
unchecked (See “Voting Console signal
block definition: Enable
Displays the Vote Proctor window when the
signal block is enabled. Also enables the
Voting | Start Voting command. If
unchecked, the window cannot be opened at
all.
• Auto-name vote
The server generates a name for the vote based
on the current date and time, in the form
yymmdd_hhmmss. Applies only to an
otherwise unnamed vote; and only when the
vote is started from Vote Proctor window. The
Start Vote button, normally disabled until an
agenda has been set, is enabled. Note that this
option is independent of the option of the
same name under the Control System Interface
tab
• Secret Ballot
During a vote, seat icons displayed in the Vote
Proctor window turn grey as they vote. Actual
votes are tallied to the Vote Proctor window
only after the floor is closed.
NOTE: A “secret ballot” is actually only secret
while the floor is opened. Once the floor is
closed, the vote is published.
The Control System Interface Tab” page 37.)
Otherwise, either signal is only valid between votes (after NewVote pulse and
before assertion of any of the “state” signals). If issued at the wrong time, one of
the following descriptive error messages is sent through the ErrString signal:
VOTE IN PROGRESS, FLOOR OPENED:
Press END VOTE or ABORT VOTE.
VOTE IN PROGRESS, FLOOR CLOSED:
Press seats to change votes; DISPLAY; or ABORT.
