[. . . ] 6469 Crestron ST-1700CIR IR Wireless Touchpanel MultiByte International Characters Most languages use a single byte of 8 bits to represent a character, e. g. , English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc. Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (28) in a font. There are two separate issues with multibyte characters - static text on buttons and indirect text on buttons. Static text on a button, entered in the standard way in VT Pro-e, always works under Windows 98. Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed is entered in SIMPL Windows. You must use VT Pro-e 3. 0 or later to guarantee that the full set of characters in the font is stored on the touchpanel. You must use SIMPL Windows 2. 03. 11 or later to enter Chinese characters directly. As of this publication date, only completely single-byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese character interspersed with numbers. Crestron is scheduling time to fix this in the near future and the release notes for SIMPL Windows will mention it. Of course, you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the string, but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters, it is essential that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP is available in many international languages and add-on software is available for other versions of Windows. Virtual Feedback Programming a one-way IR touchpanel such as the ST-1700CIR 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 use the following procedures 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. 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. 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 button that is to be activated and remain active for a specified period of time, and then return to the inactive state.

VT Pro-e Procedures Buttons requiring feedback need to have the feedback type assigned as if it were a property of the object.
