5 Statesman 5.1 Statesman introduction The Crystal Vision Statesman PC control software is designed to control a range of Crystal Vision modules via serial control from a PC. Statesman provides a user friendly means of configuring and operating Crystal Vision modules with the benefit of “see-at-a-glance” status monitoring.
Crystal Vision Statesman Status The board status is shown using a mixture of simulated LEDs and text information. As a general rule a green LED shows a good condition such as input present. An amber LED will give a warning. If an LED turns red this is a fault condition so input present will turn red if the input should go away.
