Distributed Emergency
Description
This plugin allows you to centralize the emergency data coming from monitoring systems such as the Weather, I / O cards via Viking and ASCOM Safe or TEXT Safe type controls. Centralized data can be used by all Voyager installations present as an instance or as an element in the Observatory's LAN network.
This plugin is useful for managing single buildings used as observatories or telescope farms where there are several Piers, each managed by its Voyager installation. There will be a Voyager master who will only deal with the centralized reading, interpretation and distribution of Emergency data that with a dedicated 24h / 24h DragScript running (included in plugin purchase) every day will take care of the opening / closing of the roof, the suspension and resume and the exit for emergency distributed to all Voyager connected.
The connections between the Voyager distributor and the clients are self-restoring and with a fail-over system.

Color Coding
Throughout the Setup workspace, Voyager uses color to indicate the following:
- Black: A normal setting
- Gold or Yellow: Use caution when changing as things may not work well or as expected
- Red: Use extreme care when changing this setting - the wrong value can damage your equipment or the imaging session may fail
