HAL SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE item from a list. Uses for a Selector control might include selecting a music channel, a preset, a room combination, and so on. You would typically link a Selector control to a DR capable of displaying a list (for example, a DR2 and a DR3). HAL processing blocks that contain linkable Selector controls are DR blocks (only for DRs that are capable of displaying a list, such as a DR2 and DR3) and Selector blocks (Selector, Selector with Priority, Router). NOTE: A Selector control allows the user to select only one option in the displayed list. In other words, a Selector behaves like a software radio button. Following is an image of a Selector control (that has been linked) as well as a Selector control example: Selector Control Example: Let's say you want to allow end users to select a background music channel from a list of background music channels. You choose a DR2 for your digital remote device. Within the Halogen Hardware Workspace, you add the DR2 to your system and configure it to behave as a Single Selector. You then move to the Processing Workspace (and we'll assume you already have most of your design in place) and link together the Selector control in the DR2 block with the Selector control in the appropriate Selector block in your design. You install the DR2 in the desired location, and, because the DR2 is linked to a Selector block, the DR2's LCD screen displays the Selector block channels. The end user is then able to use the DR2 to select one of the channels. Toggle controls Toggle controls allow you to switch between two states - on or off. A common usage of a Toggle control is to mute/unmute audio. Another common usage is to activate/deactivate a preset. NOTE: Toggle controls behave like software checkboxes (unlike Selector controls which behave like radio buttons). In other words, if multiple Toggle items are displayed on the remote device, the user can select or deselect one or more of them. Toggle Control Example: You want to give your end users the ability to mute or unmute the audio in a specific room. You choose a DR2 for this purpose and configure it (in the Halogen Hardware Workspace) to represent a List of Toggles/Commands. In the Halogen Processing Workspace, you link together the DR2's Toggle control with the appropriate Mute Toggle control in your audio design. The end user can then use this DR2 to mute and unmute the audio to which it is linked. 108

item from a list. Uses for a Selector control might include selecting a music channel, a

HAL processing blocks that contain linkable Selector controls are DR blocks (only for

list. In other words, a Selector behaves like a software radio button.
Following is an image of a Selector control (that has been linked) as well as a Selector
control example:
Selector Control Example:
Let's say you want to allow end users to select a back-
ground music channel from a list of background music channels. You choose a DR2 for
your digital remote device. Within the Halogen Hardware Workspace, you add the DR2
to your system and configure it to behave as a
Single Selector
. You then move to the
Processing Workspace (and we'll assume you already have most of your design in place)
and link together the Selector control in the DR2 block with the Selector control in the
appropriate Selector block in your design. You install the DR2 in the desired location,
and, because the DR2 is linked to a Selector block, the DR2's LCD screen displays the
Selector block channels. The end user is then able to use the DR2 to select one of the
channels.
Toggle controls
Toggle controls allow you to switch between two states — on or off. A common usage of
a Toggle control is to mute/unmute audio. Another common usage is to acti-
vate/deactivate a preset.
NOTE
:
Toggle controls behave like software checkboxes (unlike Selector controls
which behave like radio buttons). In other words, if multiple Toggle items are dis-
played on the remote device, the user can select or deselect one or more of them.
Toggle Control Example:
You want to give your end users the ability to mute or
unmute the audio in a specific room. You choose a DR2 for this purpose and configure it
(in the Halogen Hardware Workspace) to represent a
List of Toggles/Commands
. In the
Halogen Processing Workspace, you link together the DR2's Toggle control with the
appropriate Mute Toggle control in your audio design. The end user can then use this
DR2 to mute and unmute the audio to which it is linked.
