How to Implement Wait Screens

This document provides step-by-step instructions for adding a "Please Wait" screen to a Pro24.r remote system using a ProLink.r processor, primarily to inform users during system startup or processes.

Adding a Please Wait Screen on R Series Systems The process involves selecting a button on the home page, creating a macro that starts processor commands, and inserting delays to accommodate command execution time. Commands are added by dragging, dropping, or double-clicking, and their order can be adjusted to control timing. Since communication from processor to remote is absent, delays are estimated to ensure proper sequence.

Creating and Linking the Wait Page A new page, either from a template or custom, is added to serve as the Please Wait screen. The macro is then modified to include a page link command that switches to this page, with the command placed at the top of the macro list to ensure it executes first. The overall command sequence is an estimate and may vary based on installation specifics.

Compatibility and Additional Notes This guide applies specifically to Pro24.r and ProLink.r systems; page link handling differs on Z series and iOS devices. The instructions focus on remote and processor command coordination to display a wait screen during system processes.
