Typical Request-to-Speak Save Page interface elements
Interface Element Signal(s) Notes
“Save file” directory
DateTime
f
Typically, indirect text fields inside the
Save buttons
a set of f Save buttons,
one for each “save file”
Save
f
(where f = the number of “save files”)
a Return button
None
Page flip. Returns to Console Page
which is still displaying the “current”
queue set.
a Clear FIles button
ClearFiles
Empties all the save files. Rather than
joining this button directly to this signal,
we recommend an “Are you sure?”
dialog (as implemented in demo1).
an Exit button
Resets a toggle which
de-asserts Enable
Exits out of the RTS sub-system,
disabling the signal block which
darkens all seat request button
feedbacks and will not respond to
further Req signals from these buttons.
NOTE: In demo1, note that the “Main Menu” (a.k.a. Exit) buttons on the Load and Save pages are
simple page flips; they do not disable the signal block. This is a viable alternative. However, note
that the seat request buttons will remain active even though the touchpanel is no longer displaying
the Console Page.
1 Enable
Re-establishes the last known states of all queues, seat button feedbacks, and mic
selection. Queues and seat request buttons are now active.
Because the queues are database table-bound scrollers, the actual state of the queues
is always instantly preserved in the tables. When the signal block is re-enabled, the
tables are re-opened, and the queues reappear intact. Also at this time, the seat button
feedbacks and the mic selection setting is re-sent to the control system.
2 Start new queue set
Operator would normally get a button tied directly to the ClearQueueSet. This
operation may be initiated at any time. It is usually presented to the operator in two
places:
• As an option on the Load Page, on his way in to the Console Page; and
• As an option on the Console Page itself.
3 Reload old queue set
Operator can (optionally) choose to reload a “snapshot” of the queue set from any of
a set of f “save files” (the value of f being determined by the signal block’s
configuration). The save files are identified by their timestamps which are displayed
in the Load buttons’ indirect text fields. The Load buttons pulse the Load signals. If
a button says “[EMPTY],” then there is no data in (any of the tables comprising) the
“save file” and pulsing the signal raises Err_NO_SUCH_RECORD.
NOTE: Since no “successful load trigger” signal is provided, an “[EMPTY]” Load button will
typically flip to the Console Page anyway. In such a case, the current queue set will remain loaded
but the “No such record(s)” error message will appear on the screen.
