6.2.2.2.2 Device Link Displayed At Start-Up
The Device option buttons provide selection for which device link is displayed at monitor start-up. Selections include
CIM for the PC-to-CIM serial link, EAE for the PC-to-Enhanced Audio Enclosure serial link (if present), and CLB for the
PC-to-Console Logic Board PC expansion bus link (if present). CIM is the factory setting.
Since the EAE and CLB links are mutually-exclusive links, one of these two button selections always remains grayed-out,
preventing selection. The selectable (non-grayed) button is determined by the last saved Audio System setting accomplished
via the Hardware dialog box. Refer to section 6.2.2.1.3 in this manual (page 31) for additional information on this hardware-
related setting.
After the monitor is started, displayed device link selection may be accomplished (changed) by depressing (clicking) one
of the two respective buttons in its button bar. One button selects the CIM link and the other selects the audio system link—
either EAE or CLB.
6.2.2.2.3 Display Options At Start-Up
The Display Options check boxes allow individual enable/disable of several monitor display settings at monitor start-up.
With the exception of the Visible setting, all of these settings may be toggled between an enabled (on) and a disabled (off)
state within the monitor after it is started:
•
Running — If checked, the monitor will begin displaying data messages (in hexadecimal) when it is started and the
stop/run button in the button bar will initially provide a stop function. If not checked, the monitor will be in a
stopped state when it is started and the stop/run button will initially provide a run function.
•
RX Data — If checked, receive data—data coming in to the PC—is displayed at monitor start-up.
•
TX Data — If checked, transmit data—data going out from the PC—is displayed at monitor start-up.
•
Visible — If checked, when the Communications Interface program starts it will display the monitor and the program
itself will be visible in the Windows NT Task List. If not checked, when the Communications Interface program
starts, it will not display the monitor and the program itself will not be visible in the Windows NT Task List, even
though it is active and running. After program start-up, monitor visible/invisible toggling may be performed via
menu selection within the Dispatch Manager.
6.2.2.2.4 Character Colors and Font Configurations
Monitor data message color and font settings may be configured via the five (5) buttons within the Comm Monitor
dialog box’s Character Colors and Font box. Each button opens a respective sub-dialog box for color/font selection; see
the following figure. For additional information on the operation of these sub-dialog boxes, refer to the Configuration Editor’s
built-in help.
