How to create/edit the wizard pages

This file defines the individual wizard screens that can be shown in Tally System Console 2.  Modifications to this file are made with a WYSIWYG web editor (KompoZer). 

The content for each wizard page is stored inside a 1x1 table.  Anything outside the tables (like this) is ignored.

To define each wizard page:

1. Create a new 1x1 table at the bottom and fill in the content that will be displayed for that page.
2. Only the text foreground colour will be used by TSC2 -- set this to white.  The black background colour is ignored (it is only set to black below to make the white text easier to read).
3. To set the black background in the table, in KompoZer, right-click the table and choose Table Cell Properties.  Select the Table tab.  Choose black for the background colour.
4. A wizard navigation ID to all TSC2 to individually identify and locate the right wizard page needs to be set.  To do this, in KompoZer, right-click the table and choose Table Cell Properties.  Select the Table tab (not the Cells tab!).  Click Advanced Edit button.  In the Attribute drop down, select "id".  In the Value field, enter in a unique ID.  This ID will be used in the Wizard Navigation file.

To reference an image inside a page:

1. Click on Image button in KompoZer's toolbar.  Select your JPG/PNG file within the WizardImages subfolder.
2. Uncheck the "URL is relative to page location"
3. Replace all folders up to WizardImages specified in the URL with the tag #absolute_root#.  For example: if the URL is "file:///C:/TallyConsole2%20Templates/Templates/WizardImages/VirtualGPIOutput3-1.png" then replace it with "file:///#absolute_root#/WizardImages/VirtualGPIOutput3-1.png"
4. Select "Don't use alternate text"
   

Start New/Open Existing Configuration File If starting a new configuration file, enter the name of the TSIs that will be programmed, their interface #, and IP address.  Active box should be checked. If opening an existing configuration file (File > Open), select the file that will be used to configure the transmitting end for the virtual GPIs.

Virtual GPI Port Setup Create a new Parallel Interface Port for Virtual GPIs. The new entry should be of Type "Virtual GPI (Serial)". Select the COM port which will be used for transmitting the virtual GPIs to the receiving system. Set the Address Block value to avoid overlapping the GPI addresses of any existing TXI-Series GPI controllers.  Typically a value of 400 should suffice.

Virtual Receivers Setup Create an entry in the Virtual GPI Receivers table for one or more remote TSIs. Fill an abitrary Name, select the Device Port (the port created in Step 1) Fill in the IP address of a receiving TSI. Repeat for any additional remote TSIs.

Create Physical 4211 Devices Create the names of any 4211 devices which will be used with the Virtual GPI Outputs Assign the device port and size accordingly

Create Physical TXI Devices Create the names of any TXI devices which will be used with the Virtual GPI Outputs Assign the device port, type, and IP addresses accordingly

Program Physical Outputs - %P1[%i] Local GPI outputs are to be created.  These outputs can be transmitted to the virtual GPI receiver(s) as virtual inputs. Add a name for the GPI output, set the output address, and set the # of outputs to control (usually 1) Select a monitoring style -- the logic which the physical GPI output will follow Drag-and-drop any necessary objects into the Monitoring Description field to complete the monitoring style Select the proper Tally Area if necessary to complete the monitoring style

Set VGPI Output Select Send Existing Physical GPIs to configure the virtual GPI outputs to follow the physical outputs Select Send Dedicated Virtual GPIs to configure the virtual GPI outputs to trigger based on selectable monitoring styles

Send Existing Local GPIs As Virtual GPIs - %P1[%i] YYou can easily program the virtual GPI outputs to only follow the physical GPI outputs Checkmark the box under Send Virtual Output for the GPI output(s) that are to be transmitted to the virtual GPI receiver.

Send Dedicated Virtual GPI Outputs - %P2[%i] You can set up the virtual GPI outputs to function according to a selectable monitoring style. Add a name for the GPI output, set the output address (usually 0 for the first output), and set the # of outputs to control (usually 1) Select a monitoring style -- the logic which the virtual GPI output will follow Drag-and-drop any necessary objects into the Monitoring Description field to complete the monitoring style Select the proper Tally Area if necessary to complete the monitoring style

Save Configuration Configuration for the transmitting system is complete and can now be saved (File > Save As).
