HAL SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE l If the target control is a participant in any other control links, the dialog box contains an additional option: Add To Link: In other words, you can select Add To Link to add the source control to a link in which the target control already participates. You can select Create New Link to create a brand new control link between the source and target. Or you can do both. See Creating a Control Link in the Halogen Help System for more details. Is there a way to view all the links in which a specific control is currently participating? Yes. Click the purple link icon associated with the control. If the control is a participant in only one link, that link's properties dialog box displays. If the control is a participant in multiple links, the control's Link References dialog box opens, displaying all the links in which the control is participating: The link in which the control is currently active is also noted with a purple link icon. NOTE: The links in the Links References dialog box are sorted in priority order. Do I have to wait until my hardware is installed before testing the control links? No! A tremendous benefit of HAL System control linking is the ability to test a link as soon as you create it. No hardware is needed. See Testing a Control Link in the Halogen Help System for details. Can I disable a specific hardware remote without having to deactivate all the links that contain it? Yes, you can enable and disable individual DR devices. And you can use control linking to accomplish this! Every control on a DR has an Enable checkbox property, as shown below: 112
