the Control window. The Preparation window is where
voting motions are created and parameters are defined
or changed. The Control window is used for starting
and controlling voting. There is also a Results window
for displaying voting results. These can be displayed in
bar-, pie-or thermometer chart form. It is also possible
to see voting results while the voting is still taking place.
These 'interim results' can be specified in the
Preparation window. It is also possible to enable a quo-
rum function. This specifies how many authorized del-
egates must be present before a voting can legitimately
take place. A majority function determines what per-
centage of votes constitutes a majority voting.The files
created are called 'script' files as they act as the script
for voting procedures. A file menu allows script files to
be opened, created, saved, deleted and printed. There is
also a facility for importing script files which have been
created and saved in another application.
Each script file can consist of a number of voting
motions (up to 9999), each of which can be selected
from a 'voting motions list' in the Preparation window.
Once selected, a voting can be edited and then inserted
back into the voting list. All parameters related to the
voting can be altered although certain parameters have
to satisfy system-specific criteria. A search facility is
provided to help locate specific voting motions.
Vote-related parameters can be specified for each
individual voting.

Once a motion is ready to be voted on, delegates can
register votes on their delegate units. Multi Voting
incorporates a roll call function which, when activated,
means that delegates must vote in a predetermined
order which is specified in the Delegate Database
Module (LBB 3580). Otherwise, delegates can vote in
any order at the same time. Voting without a script is
also possible, and the same functions are available as
with a script. Voting can be stopped or suspended at
any time, and incoming votes or the final result of a
vote can be displayed on hall displays connected to the
DCN system, on delegate units with a display facility
and on-screen. The user can print the final result of a
vote, and it can also be automatically exported to an
MS-DOS file.
Note: Delegate Database LBB 3580 is required if delegate
names are used.

is also a window which can be permanently displayed
on-screen that gives an overview of all participants who
have registered their presence or absence.
