3.2.9 Test Tab
The test tab provides a means to test button
functionality while the CU is connected to the
Room Navigator so that adjustments can be made
if necessary. Using the Test Tab, click on the
button as if using the actual Room Navigator
panel and you can observe the Room Navigator
execute the command(s) configured in the button.
The panel shown in the test tab will correspond to
the panel last show on the Button Cmd Setup tab
– this way you can test using the panel interface
you configured. This is essentially the same as
pressing the button on the Room Navigator panel.
One distinct advantage of the Test Tab over the
actual panel is that you can test all your virtual
button functions such as your Auto Power-Up
sequence without having to cycle power and/or
your Auto-Execute commands without having to
wait for the time period to expire. The test tab
with BMR and ARP are shown below.
The “Analyze Button” located in the lower left of the Test Tab is a troubleshooting aid. When clicked, this button
will change the cursor to a special action cursor that you can then use to click the button you wish to analyze. The
CU will extract the associated command(s) from both the CU buffer and the connected device and save it to a text
file with the extension “.mca” and tell you the filename and path to the output file.
An example analysis file is shown below. The format of the analysis file consists of 3 main sections: 1) the header
that identifies the file and the button being analyzed by its source and functions number, 2) the contents of the CU
buffer for this button, and 3) the contents of the connected CM. Note that this example shows that the CU buffer is
different from what is configured in the CM which means the button configuration was changed in the CU but never
programmed into the CM.
