State Coordination
Several digital signals sent from the Voting Computer to the control system are used
either for button feedback; or to coordinate the logical state of the control system
with that of the Voting Computer; or both (as in demo2). The nature of these signals
are summarized below:
Operator Action NewVote
Agenda-
Trigger
State-
Start
State-

Demo 2 drives NewVote, AgendaTrigger, StateStart, StateEnd, and StateDisplay
through an Interlock symbol which ensures that one of five state signals is always
held high. These states are used to enable/disable various screen buttons. The
Interlock also ensures that the state transitions occur in the control system within a
single logic wave. This makes hiding one sub-page and showing another sub-pages
cleaner (closer together in time).
StateStart, StateEnd, StateDisplay, and StatePrintSave can also simply be used
“raw” to highlight state buttons. This is of particular interest when these buttons are
lighted control panel buttons (i.e., physical buttons).
Request-to-Speak Console operations
Unlike the Voting Console signal block — which has both a Voting Computer
window interface and a control system interface — the Request-to-Speak Console
signal block has only a control system interface for viewing and maintaining the
request-to-speak queues.
This interface usually consists of the following three pages which the operator
generally would see in this order.
• Load Page
• Console Page
• Save Page
Note: The signal block should be enabled before the operator can reach any of these pages.
These three pages are described in the following three sections.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all interface elements described therein are “joined” directly to the
indicated signals.
Load page
The Load page serves as an “entrance” to the RTS console page. From this page, the
operator can select from the following options:
• Clear the queue set and flip to the Console Page.
