2.6 “HOUSTON” MONITORING SOFTWARE

Houston is an optional Windows PC application
that allows the remote monitoring of all LSCnet
enabled products. This includes the TEKO
dimmers and ePlate wall controllers.
Any operational faults such as input phase
failure, loss of DMX, over temperature are all
sent over the LSCnet from all of the devices to
one or more PCs running the Houston software.
The user is immediately notified of a fault when
the normally GREEN status indicator starts
flashing RED. A quick glance at the screen then
gives all the detailed information about the
device affected and the nature of the fault.
This information is invaluable for the fast
diagnosis of any problems in all situations. Large
stadium concerts or set-ups with dimmers in
different locations such as distant plant rooms
can now see what is happening from a central
location.
Installers can see the status of a remote venue
such as a school, church or theme park from
their office via a Wi-Fi link or an internet
connection.
Houston also keeps a permanent log of all
system events for later viewing. These are
stored with the time and date of the fault,
allowing further diagnosis of a problem, even if it
is not reported until weeks later.
