Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal, color-oriented control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and three-dimensional buttons, and floor plans. The touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control processor except when uploading a project. For additional software information, refer to the help file provided with the software. The latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the Crestron website. Virtual Feedback Programming a one-way RF touchpanel such as the ST-1550C requires consideration of "feedback. " Since the panels are one-way only, and there is no true feedback, you must create "virtual feedback" so that buttons respond appropriately when pressed and the user perceives no real difference between a one-way panel and a two-way panel. However, if you are programming your panels with SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e, you must follow the following procedure to add logic both to the touchpanel for button feedback and to the control system program to properly process the signals, and to make sure that the state of the buttons on the panel and in the control system remain in sync. 16 · 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanel: ST-1550C Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6096A Crestron ST-1550C 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanel Button press feedback produces a change in appearance from the inactive state to the active state, or vice versa, as defined in the program. · · · Momentary feedback, from inactive to active and back to inactive, has a short duration, lasting only as long as the button is pressed. Toggle feedback produces a change of state each time the button is pressed (a logical active vs. With Interlock feedback, only one button in an assigned interlock group can be active at a time. Pressing an inactive button changes its state to active, and forces the other buttons in the group to inactive. (To clear all buttons in the interlock group requires that an extra button be added whose sole purpose is to force all the others to the inactive state. ) Duration feedback is assigned to a group of buttons that are to be activated simultaneously, remain active for a specified period of time, and then return to the inactive state. · In the following paragraphs, each feedback type will be discussed in detail as applicable. VT Pro-e Procedures Buttons requiring feedback need to have the feedback type assigned as if it were a property of the object. Button feedback logic is classified as momentary, toggle, interlock, or duration. Logic is added to the buttons on the panel (after join numbers and other properties have been assigned), by right clicking the button in VT Pro-e and selecting Feedback, which displays the "Feedback" window. "Feedback" Window NOTE: When the Feedback window is open, you can click on any of the buttons on the page and view their various feedback properties. Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6096A 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanel: ST-1550C · 17 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanel Crestron ST-1550C Interlock An interlock consists of a number of assigned buttons grouped together so that button selection is mutually exclusive within the group. This is an important feature when you wish to guarantee that button selection can only be made when all the other buttons of the group are or will be forced inactive. For example, three sources (CD, VCR, tape deck) are controlled and designed within an interlock. This ensures that if CD is chosen, all other sources/subpages are inactive. To create the interlock group, right-click on one of the buttons to be in the group, and select Feedback to display the "Feedback" window. The window changes to show any existing interlock group(s), and includes a Groups button. "Feedback" Window Use the drop down Interlock Group: field to select an existing group, or click on Groups to open the "Edit Interlock" window, which allows you to edit the existing groups or create a new group. "Edit Interlock" Window Select New to create a new interlock group. In either case, the "Create Interlock" window appears. 18 · 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanel: ST-1550C Operations Guide ­ DOC.
