To Create a Gate Control Profile from one or more Availability Profiles
-
Click
or select
.
The ‘Edit Data Profile’ dialog box is displayed.
- From the drop-down list on the left of the dialog box, select Gate Control Profile.
-
Click the
New button in the top left-hand corner.
A new ‘empty’ profile is created and added to the left-hand column. If you wish, you can rename the profile by highlighting the given name and entering a new name.
-
Right-click on the name of the new profile and select
Convert from Availability Profile(s).
The 'Gate Control Profile from Availability Profile(s)' dialog is displayed.
- For each 'Gate Mode' that you would like to set in your Gate Control Profile (IN, OUT, FREE IN, FREE OUT, FREE BOTH, CLOSED), you can now select settings from a previous Availability Profile to specify when the state is active. As an example, let's set the IN state.
- In the IN row, double-click in the 'Selection' cell and choose 'Direct' or 'Inverse' ('Not used' is the default choice and just means that you will ignore this Gate Mode entirely):
- Double-click in the 'Availability Profile' cell and choose an Availability Profile from the drop-down list (if you have none, you will need to import or create at least one).
- In the 'Pulse Mode' cell, either leave 'As AV Profile' to preserve the profile's original Pulse settings (and skip to step 10), or double-click and select 'Custom' to add your own value.
- If you selected 'Custom', double-click in the 'Pulse Duration' cell and enter your own value (in seconds).
- Repeat steps 6 to 8 for any more Gate Modes you would like to set. Remember that you can use the same Availability Profile or different Availability Profiles for each mode.

Click
OK to save your changes and create your Gate
Control Profile(s).
Successfully created profiles will appear in the Object Directory and in the 'Edit Data Profile' dialog.
