Exploring the Interface

Application Header

The application header at the top of the window displays the file name for the file you open The example

below displays the name of the default configuration file (Default.scc) included with the software that

you will modify for your requirements.

Minimize Window (–) Button and Close Program (X) Buttons

One of the first things you will recognize is the Minimize Window button and the Close Program

button in the upper right corner of the interface.

The Minimize (–) button works the same way as it does in other Microsoft Windows-based applications.

By clicking the button, you shrink the window to an icon on the taskbar. This enables you to tuck away

the application without closing it. When you are ready to work with the application, you can quickly

access it by clicking the icon.

The Close Program (X) button works the same as its counterpart in other Windows applications. When

you are ready to close the application, click the button. Click Yes or No in the pop-up box in response to

the question "Do you want to save changes to configuration?" In the dialog box that appears in response

Yes, select a folder for the configuration file, type a new file name, then click Save.

The Connection Status Pane in the upper right corner is the first

pane to check when using the application. It tells you if the control

pad is connected to the Convergence Network. It also displays the

firmware version of the control head, and the date and time of the last

saved configuration file. The control pad, however, must be connected

and powered up to read in a configuration file from your computer. For

information on the system's wiring, refer to the SmartSiren Platinum

Installation, Maintenance, and Service manual, document number

2562502 or the Quick Connect Guide, document number 2562417.
