DEFINING MULTICALLS

4.3.1 Defining MultiCalls
MultiCalls are used to define the CCU's response to events such as date
and time, alarms, JPD-100 Controller function keys, SHB-100 Shotbox
function keys, or started manually on operator command. Up to 256 (00-
255) MultiCalls can be programmed and stored with a 16-character title in
the CCU. The MultiCall number is used by the operator to run the MultiCall
or assign the MultiCall to an alarm or function key, etc.
A MultiCall can be programmed to perform one or more system functions at
the same time or one step at a time with programmable dwell times between
each function. The system functions that can be included in a MultiCall are:
PreShots, VectorScans, MultiCalls (including itself), Video Switching,
Auxiliary Output Control (turning on/off VCRs, etc.), and acknowledging the
alarm assigned to the MultiCall.
The CCU-100 can store 256 MultiCalls. Each MultiCall can have 31 steps.
If more than 31 steps are required, program multiple MultiCalls and link them
together. Program the first MultiCall to run the second MultiCall. Program
the second MultiCall to run the third MultiCall, etc.
After a MultiCall is programmed and stored in the CCU-100, it can be
assigned to any of the alarm inputs, JPD-100 function keys, SHB-100
function keys, or date and time. MultiCalls can be run by an operator using
the MCALL key on the JPD-100 Controller or the F4 function key on the
KBD-100A Keyboard (if the keyboard is plugged into the CCU).
