registry and becomes the default configuration. Use this command to select the
appropriate configuration file for each demo before running it.
The following command is always available:
• File | Exit terminates the server application. If the server protocol is running, a warning
message appears.
The Server Menu
Before the server protocol is started, the following commands are available:
• Server | License… opens the e-control Software Server – Upgrade/Transfer License
window for licensing and activating the various server components.
• Server | Configure… opens the Configuration Options window (described beginning on
page 26).
To start the server protocol, use one of the following commands:
• Server | Start connects to the control systems and starts the server protocol. If no
successful connections are made, the protocol remains halted.
• Server | Start w/Signal Analyzer connects to the control systems, starts the server
protocol, and opens the Signal Analyzer window (see below).
• Server | Start without connecting opens the Signal Analyzer window and starts the
server protocol but without connecting to the control systems. This is useful for testing
server behavior simulating incoming signals and watching the signals generated in
response (which are not actually sent).
The above commands all become disabled (dimmed) when the server protocol starts,
whereupon the following signals, normally disabled, become enabled:
• Server | Stop halts the server protocol.
• Server | Signal Analyzer opens or closes the Signal Analyzer window. When this item is
checked, the window is opened. When it is unchecked, the window is closed.
The remaining commands are always available:
• Server | Log | Timestamps. Selecting this option puts a checkmark next to it and
henceforth all log items will contain a timestamp of the form hh:mm:ss (24-hour clock)
at the beginning of each line. Selecting the command again removes the checkmark and
timestamps will no longer be included in the log.
NOTES:
1. This option affects the server log and the signal log in the Signal Analyzer window as well.
2. This option is “sticky” — meaning that its most recently set state is saved in the Windows
Registry and is automatically applied to the option the next time the window is opened.
• Server | Log | Clear clears the message log.
The Database Menu
This menu contains a single command, Database | Queries Table, which opens the
Queries Table window. This window provides display and edit access to this
essential table in the database file named in the Configuration Options window. See
“Database tables windows” below for instructions on how to edit the table. See also
“The Queries Table” in the SW-DBM manual (Doc. 5823) for more information.
The Voting Menu
The following command is always available:
• Voting | Tables. Opens the Voting Tables window which provides display and edit
access to the Members table and the Agenda table. The first table lists seat numbers
and the real names and display names of members occupying those seats. This table
would only be changed when the membership changes, or members seats are changed.
The second table lists agenda item numbers and descriptions, as well as the outcome of
the vote on the item. New agenda items can be appended to this table and will show up in
