Linking Galileos
Galileos can, through Compass, share settings. When Galileos are linked, selected channels
(or all channels: see Choosing Selected-Channel Link Mode (p. 46), below) on the Galileos will
share any changes made to their controls.
Linking Galileo Units
1.
Select the Galileos page.
2.
In the Link column, enable Select for the Galileos that are to share settings.
3.
In the ID column, select the same link ID for each Galileo in the group.
The Galileos are now linked, and changes made to channel controls may be propagated from
one Galileo to the others.
Choosing Selected-Channel Link Mode
By default, all selected channels on all linked Galileos will share control settings. Alternatively,
you can choose to link all channels regardless of their Select status; or link only those selected
channels on the active Galileo, ignoring the Select status of channels on other Galileos. Details
of these preferences are provided below:
1.
Select the Compass > Channel Linking Preferences page.
2.
Set Global Galileo Select-Linking Mode:
■
Select All selected channels on selected Galileos are globally linked if you want
all selected channels on all linked Galileos to be treated as a single control. In this
mode, the linked Galileos will display a bright green bar across the top of their page
tabs. On the Galileos page, enabled Select buttons will be bright green.
■
Select Selected channels on the active Galileo tab are linked to the same channels,
by letter or number, on other selected Galileos if you want selected controls on a
linked Galileo to affect the same control on all other linked Galileos (regardless of the
selection status of that control on the other Galileos). In this mode, the linked Galileos
will display a bright blue bar across the top of their page tabs. On the Galileos page,
enabled Select buttons will be bright blue.
