Title: Cause & Effect
Post by: thegasman0 on March 07, 2008, 03:53:41 PM

Hi, Hope this is pasted in the right place!!  

Does anyone have any software or template for producing a cause and effect matrix for addressable systems.

Thanks

I can't think tha there would be a generic one as all panels use different methods for C & E programming.
Hoever,a simple excel spreadsheet could be run up listing outputs.actions and associated devices/zones.

If it's a complicated building then a flow chart showing the sequence of events is a helpful tool. Make sure that is right before you spend half your life populating a C&E chart.
