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.

Control Profile(s).
