The Status Bar displays fields to provide feedback to users.
The Status Bar consists of the following components:
The Connection State field signals the connect state with the CineDrive Brain. Online means kOS is in communication with the Brain. Offline means kOS is not in communication with the Brain, and will be unable to carry out motor movement until a connection is restored.
The Online/Offline status is also a button, and a single press will attempt to reconnect kOS to the Brain.
The Firmware Version field displays the release number of the firmware retrieved from the Brain.
The firmware version is only displayed when kOS is in communication with the Brain. If there is no connection with the Brain, this field displays 'Unknown'.
The Status Message field is sometimes populated with status messages when the Brain reports error conditions to Mac kOS.
