from defects in materials and workmanship and will perform substantially in accordance with
the accompanying written materials under normal use and service for a period of ten (10) years
from the date of shipment. Any implied warranties on hardware are limited to ten (10) years.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the
above limitation may not apply to certain specific purchasers.
Software Warranty
Utah Scientific warrants that the software will perform substantially in accordance with the
accompanying written materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment.
Customer Remedies
For the first one (1) year after purchase of the software and the first ten (10) years after the date

exclusive remedy shall be, at Utah Scientific’s option, either:
• Return of the price paid, or
• Repair or replacement of the software or hardware that does not meet the above warranties

After the initial warranty periods, purchaser’s exclusive remedy is the repair or replacement of
the hardware upon payment of a fixed fee to cover handling and service costs based on Utah
Scientific’s then-current price schedule. The above warranties are void if failure of the
software or hardware has resulted from an accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement
software or hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or
thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
No other warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Utah Scientific and
its suppliers disclaim all other warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with regard to the
software, the accompanying written materials, and any accompanying hardware. This limited

jurisdictions.
No liability for consequential damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,

viii UCP LC 32/80

for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply in those
circumstances.

System Introduction
Launching UCON
Launch UCON by double-clicking the application icon inside the directory.
FIGURE 1-1.
Next, open the .ucn file saved for your current configuration.
FIGURE 1-2.

1-6 UCP Series
Once opened, your saved configuration will appear within the UCON display.
Figure 1-4.
Now double-click the layout configuration (noted icon above) to activate your working
interface. You can also activate the panel editing window (shown below) by right-clicking the
icon and selecting ‘Edit’ from the drop-down menu.
FIGURE 1-3.
The LC-32 is displayed in the example above.

UCP LC 32/80 1-7
Previously created sources and destinations are listed alphabetically in the two lists at the right side of
the display. The items contained in the functions list (lower-right) can be directly applied to individual
buttons.
FIGURE 1-4.
The items that will be placed in the Name column are known as “Menus”, and in our example there are
32. When added to a button, the menu becomes a set of functions, described in more detail within the
center table. Each menu can contain up to 256 different buttons.
FIGURE 1-5.

1-8 UCP Series
The layouts within the corresponding column are available for any one of the indicated ‘menus’ to the left
(Name column). The Panel Layout selection is made by clicking the drop down menu within the layout
column (illustration below) and making a selection from the list provided.
Figure 1-5. Initial Build
When a layout is selected, the ‘Fixed’ button (on the actual panel, upper left) will change the button color
state of all Source buttons on the panel.
Figure 1-6. Panel Example

UCP LC 32/80 1-9
Layout Selection - Examples
The illustration below contains a partition (1) 16x2 navigation panel. Sixteen buttons along the top by two
rows.
Figure 1-7. 16x2.
In the following config there is no ‘Partition 2’, as partition 2 would contain the navigation buttons, which
are not modifiable.
Figure 1-8. 16x1 (containing 2 partitions)
In the above layout, the first partition corresponds to the light green buttons, while the section partition
corresponds to the yellow buttons.
The navigation buttons are also included (red buttons, far right). The 8x2 layout illustrated below is
defined by two partitions - 8 buttons along the top by two rows (light green and blue buttons)
Figure 1-9. 8x2
The illustration below is a 'Single Mode' panel, which contains a total of 38 buttons
Figure 1-10. Single Layout

1-10 UCP Series
The buttons to the far right are typically used as navigation buttons, and can include page up and page
down controls.
Important note concerning the ‘single mode' operation
• It is always a good idea to include a ‘back’ button for the purpose of returning to a previous
menu layout, otherwise the user is isolated in the current button layout.
The Page Up and Page Down buttons are recommended for convenient navigation.
Drag the page up and down buttons from the location shown (lower right column) to the specified button
number inside the table (middle). You simply drag this button definition to the specific button number for
the specific location you would like to assign this command.
