Procedure

Dependent Lite-up Options Report

We recommend that you run the Dependent Lite-up Options report from the Optifacts menu 5-4-5 to print a list of existing dependent

Lite-ups.

Then, review the report to see if the

dependent Lite-up you are adding already exists. You can also decide what number to use and the placement of the new entry. Once you have the information, you can proceed to

set up your dependent

Lite-ups.

Add/Edit Dependent Lite-ups

Using this option will allow you to add new , or edit existing dependent liteLite-up options. The dependent liteLite-up options differ from automatic liteLite-up options in the method used to determine when to toggle a liteLite-up on or off. Dependent liteLite-ups depend upon the status of another liteLite-up to determine if other liteLite-ups should be toggled on or off. It is possible to use dependent lite-ups together with automatic liteLite-ups to form endless configurations.

Dependent liteLite-ups work in relation to with the on ON or off OFF status of one other liteanother Lite-up. If the liteLite-up exists in this database, and the status of the liteLite-up matches the status listed in this database, then the dependent liteLite-up will assume the status listed in this database. An example: If liteLite-up #3 (METAL EDGE) is ON, toggle liteLite-up #2 (ZYL EDGE) OFF. In this fashion, you could create numerous entries could be made to also turn off any other edging liteLite-ups if liteLite-up #3 is gets toggled ON.

It is possible to have separate liteLite-ups for glass and plastic sharing the same liteLite-up number , since only one of them need needs to be displayed at a time. In such a situation, However, you cannot use automatic and dependent liteLite-ups cannot be used in conjunction with these liteLite-up numbers in such a situation.

It is important that you You must use a liteLite-up number that is used for both plastic and glass materials when you are creating dependent liteLite-up options. If you use a liteLite-up number that has with different descriptions for glass and plastic materials descriptions, unpredictable results will happen.
