The Program Details window allows the user to edit the details of programs.

Any program is defined by its Name, Description, Color, Location and Sequences. The program Locked for non-admins option makes the program inaccessible for users without administrator privileges.

Sequences

The Sequences section of the Program Details window allows the user to set up actions sequences for the program, using the Start and End time markers of the sequence to offset the actions.

Sequence tree structure

The left side tree structure represents the action sequence. The actions are defined relatively to the Start and End of the program. The buttons at the bottom side of the panel allow the user to create a new sequence step, copy a sequence step or delete a selected step.

The sequence steps names represent the time relative to the Start or End markers. The steps that are relative to the Start markers are offset with the selected amount of time, meaning that the actual step will run at the specified time after the Start of the program

The steps relative to the End marker will run at the specified time before the End of the program.

Sequence actions

The right-side panel represents the sequence actions. The actions are defined by the Offset basis, Offset time, Signal to be written and the Value to be written.

• Offset basis - the marker to which the action is relative to. The action can be relative to the Start marker or End marker of the sequence.

• Offset time - the amount of time the action is offset from the basis. If the basis is the Start marker, the action will start after the time specified here. If the basis is the End marker, the action will start before the End of the sequence, offset with the amount of time specified here.

• Signal Name - the name of the signal to be written when the action is triggered.

• Signal Description - the description of the signal.

• Signal Value - the value to be written to the signal.

• New - opens the Signal Browser, allowing the user to select one of the signals available to the location of the program.
