DeltaMonitor > Edit > Preferences
The preferences menu provides controls for some of the configurable settings within DeltaMonitor.
Front Panel Com Port Selection
Allows the user to select the Com Port which Delta Monitor will attempt to communicate to the LED front panel via. The drop down list is populated with all active comports, and Delta Monitor will always default to Com Port 77.
Ignore Delta
DeltaMonitor communicates between the DeltaServer software and the Media Server front panel. If you have rolled back to an older version of DeltaServer from a time when Media Servers did not have a matrix orbital front panel, the front panel will not be able to communicate with DeltaServer. DeltaMonitor, not knowing that DeltaServer is running, will fall into a red ‘alert’ display. This option stops DeltaMonitor listening to the DeltaServer software on this server, and prevents the apparent error state from showing. A default message is displayed instead.
Show Alerts
Users can select this option to allow visual indications of incoming external controls. When external controls are received the front panel will change to a different block colour dependent on which control was received.
