versions of these files that pertain to the same hardware setups can
then be scheduled to change using the Schedule function in the
File menu and this can even be linked to MIDI Time Code using
the MTC Scheduler in the Setup menu.
A further level of control is also available using IQ Win Scenes,
these are not the same as the Unit Scenes that can be set up for the
PS-8810 alone. These can be scheduled using the Scene
Sequencer found in the Dataframe menu and are again saved on
the PC hard drive (as .SIQ files). IQ Win Scenes can be organised
without any units connected to the PC, unlike PS-8810 Presets that
can only be stored in the unit while the program is on-line to the
device.
If you use the Cut command from the Edit menu on a PS-8810
icon in the Workplace this will not delete the unit but, instead
removes all the settings back to their defaults. Equally, Copy will
put the settings on the clipboard for Pasting back into another unit
(if you have two or more on an IQ loop for example).
All of the settings in the unit can be printed in list format using the
File menu Print command. This is useful to assess the
configuration of the device on paper although, note that for a
standard PS-8810 the printout will run to over 20 pages! Use the
‘Select’ button to choose for which unit(s) you wish to print the
settings.
The Upload and Engage options in the Dataframe menu enable a
manual connection to be made either from the unit in the former
case or back to the unit in the latter. All the current settings will be
either received or sent to the PS-8810. These functions can be
used to re-establish communication with the unit should the link go
down, i.e. the RS232 cable is accidentally unplugged.
The Edit Control Pages option allows the construction of ‘custom’
control panels to give selective access to particular controls and to
represent them in a user’s chosen layout with added text and
images.
IQ Win also includes some comprehensive error reporting
facilities that can be linked to a printer or sent out externally via a
connected modem to either a fax or pager. A .wav audio file alert
can even be played through the system! Note that at present the
error reporting doesn’t include information relating to CobraNet
