The Graphic Setup Program Setup Templates
74 NCS Manual PN 51095:B1 3/08/02
5.7 Setup Templates
Templates can be defined to make device setups easier. Templates can be defined to group a
number of device graphic file options together, or to define a Hot Template which contains the
same bitmap and options for the device.
5.7.1 Template Groups
A template contains specific bitmap file groupings for modules, detectors, zones, information
labels, groups, and navigation buttons. These templates can be shown on the main screen, and used
to drag items on the screen. They are designed to logically group specific devices on a dialog box,
with each icon shown. A maximum of 40 icons can be shown per template.
When creating a template, a dialog box listing all items in the directory is displayed. Select the
checkbox next to the items to add them to the template.
5.7.2 Hot Templates
A hot template is a setup of specific modules, detectors or zones. Once a device has been added to
a screen, an option within the device setup saves it as a hot template. These hot templates can then
be used to set up other devices with the same options. The hot templates saved can be invoked
from the toolbar.
Note: If a device that defines a hot template is deleted, the hot template will also be deleted.
A hot template is defined for a specific device, (the hot template and the device are actually one item).
This allows the user to easily copy information from one device to another. Once the information for
a device hot template is changed, all new devices created from it will have the new information.
Devices created with the hot template before it was changed will not contain the new information.
5.8 Custom Bitmap
The bitmap that appears on the NCS main window next to the keymap area can be customized.
Changes to this bitmap can be done through PaintShop Pro. To call up this file under the Setup
menu select the Edit NCS Graphic command. When the graphics are updated, changes to the
Custom bitmap are also updated. Refer to Figure 5.35.
