A−2 CM 4000 Installation and Operating Manual
SUMMARY OF SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Following hardware installation:
1. The optional control panels, if any, must be configured as MPK devices:
a. A CP 3020 used with the VGA is configured as type “VC 3020” (page 5−114).
b. A CP 3000 used with the VGA is a type “VCP−3000” (page 5−114). If the CP 3000 has an expansion panel, it must
be entered as a type “VCP3000E.”
c. An MC 3000 panel must be entered on the MPK Devices table (page 5−114) and given the device type of
“VMC−3000” or, if it has an expansion panel, as a type “VMC3000E.”
2. In order to display time code on an MC 3000 associated with a VGA status display, entries must also be made to the
Machine Control table, as shown on page 5−148.
3. Text for the centered header can be entered (if desired) using the Status Display Headers table (page 5−150).
4. The VGA Status Display Table should be filled out (see page 5−151).
This table establishes the name of the Page Description file; i.e., the name of the file that will be created when the “Tools
> Generate VGA Files” command is run.
5. The “Tools > Generate VGA Files” command is used to create the Page Description file.
Note 1: The “Generate VGA Files” command is designed for use during initial installation only—it always
uses the original factory default settings when building the Page Description file. If you decide to modify
your VGA display with custom formatting, do not re−run the Generate VGA Files command. If you do, your
modifications will be overwritten.
The Generate VGA Files command will refer to the information in the current Edit set, then use the factory default for-
mats to build two files: the first file will use the name entered on the VGA Status Display Table plus the extension “.vga.”
The second file will be created identically to the first but will have the name “vga−desc.vga.” Both files will be written
to the \jupiter\config\ configname directory, where configname is the name of the currently selected edit set.
Note 2: Whenever you run the Generate VGA Files command, you will see the following message:
WARNING VGA files may be overwritten
This message is a reminder that the system is about to use the factory default settings when building the Page
Description file. (When first installing the VGA, this is OK.)
6. The Edit set must be compiled and downloaded in the normal manner. This completes the configuration process using
factory default formatting. Operating instructions are found on page 6−138.
