The Multi Voting program is started from the Startup
screen (shown below).
Figure 1 The Startup screen
i Note
For starting the Startup program from an icon
in the Windows desktop, refer to the Startup
user manual.
The software uses two user-created files that contain
important information about the installed hardware
configuration and about delegates’ names. These files
are:
• Installation file - containing information about
channel assignment and the numbers that have
been assigned to all microphones connected to
the system. These seat numbers are assigned
using the System Installation software (LBB 4185).
• Names file - containing information about the
name, seat number and other conference and
personal details of participating delegates. Names
files are created using the Delegate Database
software (LBB 4180).
The software modules may be started up from the
Startup main window without specifying either an
installation or names file. However, some software
modules will not run without the appropriate
installation or names file.
Multi Voting requires an installation file in order to
function correctly. It also makes use of one specific
area of information contained within the names file;
the assigning of delegates to user-specified groups
within the conference. The results of the voting of
these groups can be displayed in the Results window
of Multi Voting, but only if the appropriate names
file containing these group assignments is specified
from the Startup menu. If no names file is selected
from the Startup main menu, the group results
display option in Multi Voting will not be available.
Selecting an installation- (and a names) file
For details on selecting an installation- (and a names)
file, please refer to the Startup user manual (LBB
4190).
