Frame and Module Parameters
Through the web based UI, once you've set up your frames and modules, you can configure and control parameters for those modules.
For a complete list of modules and parameters, refer to the
IP3 Frame and Modules User Manual
.
Frames and Modules in the Web Interface
After a frame has been added to your system, you can see status and set editable parameters for both the frame and the modules in the frame. Click the
Go to Frame
button against the Frame for details (See
Frame Components (on page 122)).
A list of available modules and parameters are displayed, categorized by type.
Click the
Open Module
button to the right to see details of a module.

Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Frame and Module Parameters
The module is then displayed along with all of its parameters. Some of the parameters are status only
(read-only) and some are editable.
Note:
The window that is displayed (superimposed) contains details for the module clicked on - however, if there are more than one of that type of module in the frame, all modules of that type will be displayed in the column on the left.
Parameter/Status Menu Groups
For each Input/Output module, parameters/statuses are organized into three groups:
Module
Parameters that affect the module as a whole (such as Sync Select), or status that reflects the module as a whole (such as Software Version), are usually organized under this category.
Inputs/Outputs
Parameters and status that are indexed for each Input/Output on the module are organized under
Inputs
(for Input modules) or
Outputs
for Output modules (See Table Parameters (on page 121)).

Parameter Types
Frame and Module Parameters
Read-Only (Status) Parameters
Read-only or status parameters feed back the current state of a specific parameter.
Figure 39: Example of a Read-Only parameter
String Parameters
String parameters are items that can be renamed using text characters. String parameter changes do not take effect until the entire string has been modified. Use a keyboard, or copy and paste, to enter a value.
List Parameters
List parameters contain a series of possible values for a specific parameter. Enumeration and string-list parameter changes are always delayed. List parameters are identifiable by the arrow in the right corner of the button. When you roll the mouse over a list parameter, the button highlights, and when you click the arrow, available options are displayed. Select an item in the list to set the value for this parameter.
Figure 40: Example of a List Parameter
Range Parameters
A range parameter uses an incremented slider to choose a value from all available values. Numeric parameter values are represented by a sliding bar on the display screen. A progress bar indicates where the current value is within the entire range the parameter presents. The current value is shown at the right of the progress bar.
Figure 41: Example of a Range Parameter
You can control the editable parameters by entering values, selecting options from drop down lists, or in some cases by dragging a slider to the appropriate value.

Table Parameters
Frame and Module Parameters
Table parameters provide an interface to view a large number of settings in a single screen, linking multiple instances of the same parameter or series of parameters (for example, parameters that apply to multiple channels) OR simply grouping similar parameters together.
This screenshot shows parameters for the PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG Input Module, which has some General Info parameters
grouped
under a table. Click
Show Table
to view/expand options.
This screenshot displays how parameters that apply to multiple channels are combined and displayed.
The screen is divided into three panes - with the module on the left, instances in the middle, and the parameter fields to the right. You can drag the divider between these panes to expand and contract the view. You will see multiple rows corresponding to multiple channels.
Menu options can be accessed from menu links on the left and menu options in the drop down list in the top right hand corner.
To change a table parameter:
1.
Select a row (input) from the middle section (in this case, a channel). The Parameter pane updates to display the options and current settings for that row. By default, the parameter pane displays parameters for the first row in the table. The top right corner of the screen updates to indicate the row the parameters are for.
2.
Select the parameter you want to change.
The individual parameter control types are the same as for regular parameters.

Sync Notes
The
Sync Mode
parameter (set to
Auto
by default) allows for configuration of switching point settings. In
Auto
mode, the output switches relative to the detected sync reference assigned to the module.
If
Sync Mode
is set to
Standard
, the
Output Standard
parameter can be used to specify the video standard to use as the switching point timing reference relative to the sync reference signal detected on the selected Sync input (Sync 1 - 4)
If
Sync Mode
is set to
Advanced
, the
Sync Pulse Delay
parameter can be used to specify where the output switching point is relative to the reference signal. The delay is in units of microseconds.
