Opening and using the signal controller editor
You configure and edit signal controllers of the fixed time type in the SC editor.
To do so, you can make the following settings:
- Defining a signal controller with frequency (Defining a signal controller with frequency)
- Defining signal groups of the signal controller (Defining signal groups in the signal controller editor)
- Editing default signal sequences and signal states of signal groups (Editing signal groups)
- Defining intergreens (Defining an intergreen matrix)
- Editing intergreens (Editing intergreen matrices)
- Defining and editing stages (Defining and editing stages)
- Assigning stages to signal groups and selecting a default intergreen matrix (Editing stage assignment)
- Creating stage sequences, interstages, and signal group-based (also known as “phase-based”) signal programs (Editing stage sequence). Using the Vissig add-on module, you may also define stage-based signal programs.
- Defining signal programs (Defining signal programs)
- Editing signal programs (Editing signal programs)
- Editing the interstages created (Editing interstages)
