NOTE: As you can see, there are already 22 objects in the configuration. This is because IGSS comes with a number of predefined objects for different system purposes. The predefined objects are included for free, that is, an IGSS license will include extra 15 objects. For example, the IGSS FREE50 license includes 65 objects. Click here to read more about Objects in IGSS. Calculating the number of objects in a configuration The number of objects is calculated as follows: One object is counted for every new object you create One object is counted for every new template you create One object is counted when you name the states or commands in a digital template (yet another object is counted if the template includes more than 25 states/commands) One object is counted for every time you use the valid commands feature in a digital template One object is counted when you define global function keys One object is counted for each diagram where you define function keys You can always see the number of objects you've purchased and the number of objects currently used in the configuration. Simply choose "Help About".

of 26 STEP 5. Running the configuration 1) Look for the IGSS Starter bar which, by default, is located at the top of your screen. It can also be placed left, right or bottom dependent on your preference. Click the Start button. 2) The startup diagram appears in the Supervise module. The alarm icon appears immediately when you start up. In this case, there are no alarms. When alarms occur, the color of the alarm icon changes to the color of the most critical alarm. Double-click the alarm icon to view the active alarms. Congratulations! You have created your first IGSS configuration and brought it online.
