RAD16z Device Control Properties

UI Element	Purpose
Title Bar Name	Area at the top of the properties dialog box that displays the RAD's Device Name as well as the HAL/EXP device model, the HAL/EXP port to which the RAD is connected, and the RAD model:
Logic In panel	This panel contains a list of Logic In controls configured for the RAD16z. The panel also shows buttons that allow you to move the selected control up or down in the list and to add a new selector, toggle, or command control to the end of the list. Toggle Controls When a port is configured as a toggle control, the Type setting allows you to configure the type of physical switch that you are using. This setting is available only for toggle controls and allows you to select either Latching (default) or Momentary. See Momentary and Latching Toggle Configuration for more information about configuring these inputs. Command Controls When a port is configured as a Command, the associated control in the Control palette of the Processing Workspace is a command type. There are no configuration options for this type of control. Selector Controls When a port is configured as a Selector, the Number of Ports, Type, and Selections columns work together to allow you to configure the number of selections included in the associated selector control in the Processing Workspace. To select a control, click on anywhere inside the control's row area in the list.
Port	The Port number corresponds to the physical Logic In hardware port on the RAD16z. Two ports are available and you can configure them in a variety of ways.
Control	Shows the control type icon and name of the Logic In control as well as the standard control link icon. You can change the control name by clicking on the edit name icon. This name is intended to help you identify your controls when working in the Processing Map. You can link the control to another control of the same type on the Processing Map (for example, a Mute control). To do so, click, drag, and drop the Logic In link icon onto the link icon of the control on the Processing Map.
Value	Displays and allows you to change the current state of the Logic In control according to its Control Type. Toggle: Check or uncheck the checkbox. note: You can change the state of a Logic In Toggle from within Halogen even when connected to HAL. When connected, a Latching type Logic In Toggle follows the state of the Logic In port, but you can override it by clicking on the toggle check box. This simulates changes from the physical switch (allowing you to test the control links). You can also do this when offline, but in this case, since there is no physical switch, Halogen does not consider the control to be overridden. Command: Assert the command by clicking on the button. Select: Change the selection using the drop-down menu. note: You can also view the selector value as a set of radio buttons by clicking the 'expand' arrow on the far right of the Value column.
Number of Ports	Use this to configure the number of physical RAD16z Logic In ports to use for the selector. As you change this value, the Port column shows the ports currently allocated to each control.
Type	When the Logic In control type is toggle, Type allows you to view and set the toggle configuration: Latching or Momentary. Latching toggles are read-only while Momentary are not. When the control type is selector and the Number of Ports allocated to the control is greater than one, you have a choice for how the RAD16z uses the Logic In signals to determine the selected item One-Of or Binary. One-Of: Binary: note: When you've allocated a single RAD16z Logic In port to a selector, the Type is always binary, providing a two item selector control in the Control palette of the Processing Workspace.
Selections	This column shows how many selections are provided by the associated selector control in the Processing Workspace. For a One-Of configuration, this is always the same as the number of ports allocated to the control. For a Binary configuration, you can set this to match the number of selections that you desire, up to the maximum allowed by the binary number.
Override	The Cancel button appears when you have overridden the current state of the physical switch attached to the Logic In port. Click the button to revert to the actual state of the Logic In port. note: HAL cancels all read-only overrides when you disconnect Halogen or on HAL reboot.
Remove control icon	This icon appears when you hover with your mouse over a control item in the list and it is possible to remove the item. Click on the icon to remove the control from the list.

Title Bar Name

Area at the top of the properties dialog box that displays the RAD's Device Name as well as the HAL/EXP device model, the HAL/EXP port to which the RAD is connected, and the RAD model:

Logic In panel

This panel contains a list of Logic In controls configured for the RAD16z.

The panel also shows buttons that allow you to move the selected control up or down in the list and to add a new selector, toggle, or command control to the end of the list.

Toggle Controls

Command Controls

Selector Controls

To select a control, click on anywhere inside the control's row area in the list.

Port

The Port number corresponds to the physical Logic In hardware port on the RAD16z. Two ports are available and you can configure them in a variety of ways.

Control

Shows the control type icon and name of the Logic In control as well as the standard control link icon.

You can change the control name by clicking on the edit name icon. This name is intended to help you identify your controls when working in the Processing Map.

You can link the control to another control of the same type on the Processing Map (for example, a Mute control). To do so, click, drag, and drop the Logic In link icon onto the link icon of the control on the Processing Map.

Value

Displays and allows you to change the current state of the Logic In control according to its Control Type.

Toggle: Check or uncheck the checkbox.

note: You can change the state of a Logic In Toggle from within Halogen even when connected to HAL. When connected, a Latching type Logic In Toggle follows the state of the Logic In port, but you can override it by clicking on the toggle check box. This simulates changes from the physical switch (allowing you to test the control links). You can also do this when offline, but in this case, since there is no physical switch, Halogen does not consider the control to be overridden.

Select: Change the selection using the drop-down menu.

note: You can also view the selector value as a set of radio buttons by clicking the 'expand' arrow on the far right of the Value column.

Number of Ports

Use this to configure the number of physical RAD16z Logic In ports to use for the selector. As you change this value, the Port column shows the ports currently allocated to each control.

Type

When the Logic In control type is toggle, Type allows you to view and set the toggle configuration: Latching or Momentary. Latching toggles are read-only while Momentary are not.

When the control type is selector and the Number of Ports allocated to the control is greater than one, you have a choice for how the RAD16z uses the Logic In signals to determine the selected item One-Of or Binary.

Binary:

note: When you've allocated a single RAD16z Logic In port to a selector, the Type is always binary, providing a two item selector control in the Control palette of the Processing Workspace.
