Important Details / Changes
T-SOLSA Offline
When using T-SOLSA offline to prepare showfiles it is crucial the I/O
Database, Tempest Engine Config and Surface Config files are loaded from the
target console into T-SOLSA. With the improvements in V3.1 around VTL and
dynamic dual domain routing listed above, the Tempest Engine Config file must
match the I/O database for T-SOLSA offline routing to operate and be accurate.
The surface config file will allow the operator to correctly manage layers for
the tile layout of the target console.
Network Adapters
Network adapter selection for T-SOLSA moved in the same way as the console
network GUI from version V3.1. Adapter selection is found in
Setup>Service>Network. All adapters available from the operating system when
T-SOLSA is started will be displayed. The adapter to be used with T-SOLSA is
selected in the Surface Network pane. Adapter settings must be configured
within Windows, the Network Adapters pane in T-SOLSA is read only.
Installer
Following Microsoft advice for apps within Windows 10 there are some changes
to the installer, no automatic Desktop shortcut, no version numbers in Start
Menu shortcuts, no Start Menu shortcuts to the uninstallers. If a shortcut is
required, this can be created using Windows with a shortcut to
SystemStartSequencer.exe located in C:\Program Files\Solid State
Logic\SystemT. This shortcut can be renamed accordingly. The T-SOLSA version
number may be found in the properties of this file or from the
Service>Admin>About GUI within the software. If you need to uninstall T-SOLSA
please do this through the inbuilt Settings>Apps & Features tools within
Windows.
Install T-SOLSA
These instructions should be used alongside the System T Install Notes and
Features Release Notes for the matching version of software. For operational
instructions please see the System T Operational Guide; operationally the
T-SOLSA apps are the same control software that runs on the console. Locate
the SSL_SystemT_PC_V3.2.8.50849.exe file and double-click to launch. Dialogue
boxes will appear asking if you wish to run the file and then install the
software, confirm these:
Dialogue boxes appear asking if you wish to extract and install the FTDI CDM
Drivers. Click Extract, Next, accept the agreement and click Next, then Finish
.
Upon completion of the install a dialogue box will appear asking you to select
Finish. Once this is done the program is ready to launch.
When T-SOLSA is launched the T-SOLSA Application Manager window appears first.
This provides the option to choose the apps that run/load by default/load
minimised etc. Reducing the number of application windows that launch to only
those required can improve system performance. Apps return to their previous
display locations when launched.
Connect T-SOLSA to Console
- Create a password: On the console, go to Setup>Options>Surface Remote Connections, double-click the password box to define a password. If required enable Auto authorise to slot 1 providing the ability to skip step 3 of this process.
- Log in from T-SOLSA: In T-SOLSA launch the setup window and go to Setup>Options>Surface Remote Connections, set to REMOTE mode, and press to connect to an available slot.
- Allow the connection: On the console Surface Remote Connections tab, click to allow the requested T-SOLSA connection.
- Sync the console layers: If you wish to push the console user layers from the main to T-SOLSA in slot 1 or 2, on the console go to Setup> Layer Manager and hold the Sync button in the right-side menu bar.
