Figure 8-37 Reentry Configuration Screen
8.9.7.1 Engineering Name, Nickname and Name
These fields allow an identifying name to be assigned to the reentry path. In operation, this is
the name used to signify both the source and destination when using a reentry path. Each of the
name fields is discussed below:
Engineering Name – Any combination of up to 8 alphanumeric characters may be used to
assign the Engineering Name to the reentry.
Nickname - Any combination of up to 8 alphanumeric characters may be used to assign the
Nickname to the reentry.
Name – This field is essentially a free text space where you may enter a name up to 32
characters in length for the source. This name is only displayed on this configuration screen
and may be used to more clearly comment the reentry function.
8.9.7.2 Defining a Reentry
Remember that a reentry is a virtual signal path, meaning there is no physical input or output,
used as both a source and destination. In order to configure a reentry it is necessary to enter the
Source Number and Destination Number as follows:
Source Number – Click the cursor in the Source Number cell and enter the Source
Identification Number you wish to assign to the reentry function. The number may be any
number NOT used to identify an actual physical source. Typically, the way to choose a valid
ID number is to look at the Sources Configuration Screen and note the last ID number used for
a physical source. In the example shown Source Number 52 is used for the reentry path named
REENTRY1. In this configuration file, 50 is the last source number assigned to a physical
source. Therefore 52 is a valid and convenient number to assign to the reentry source.
