Scanlists And Scan Sets - Whistler WS1080 Owner's Manual

SCANLISTS and SCAN SETS

Scanlists and Scan Sets
Scan Sets are an exciting new feature with the
WS1080. There are 20 Scan Sets that work in
conjunction with Scanlists to provide additional scan
object selection capability and flexibility. Each Scan
Set contains a list of all 200 normal Scanlists plus the
special Skywarn Scanlist.
With Scan Sets you can quickly select large groups
of Scanlists to enable or disable, just by enabling or
disabling the Scan Sets that contain the desired groups
of Scanlists, instead of individually editing the list of
enabled Scanlists every time you want to change the
group of Scanlists you wish to monitor.
For example:
On Scanlist 01 you decide to put all of City1. On
Scanlist 02 you decided to put all of City 2, on Scanlist
03 you decided to put all of City 3. By default all
Scanlists are enabled for Scan Set 01. The scanner will
scan all these Scanlists even though they may be out
of range. You can program other Scan Sets to have
certain Scanlists enabled or disabled to make it easier
for you to scan only the lists you know are in range.
For example you can program Scan Set 02 to enable
only Scanlist 01 which is City 1, and disable all others.
You can program Scan Set 03 to enable only Scanlist
02 which is City 2, and disable all others, etc. This way
instead of having disable each Scanlist you are not
using, you can select the Scan Set you need, which
you have already programmed for a specific area. This
would be mostly beneficial if you had many Scanlists
programmed for different locations or departments.
Scanlists and Scan Sets follow this simple rule:
If an object is mapped to an enabled Scanlist, AND, that
Scanlist is enabled, AND, that Scanlist is a member of an
enabled Scan Set, THEN, that
object will be scanned when the SEL key is pressed.
