[. . . ] In SIMPL Windows, the signal types are color-coded as follows: Digital = Blue Analog = Red Serial = Black Undefined/Other = Green NOTE: "Other" signals are a combination of the three basic types (e. g. many symbols accept either analog or serial signals; the combination is shown as a green signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is highlighted. 20 · 10. 4 Inch Tilt Touchpanel: Crestron Isys® TPS-4000 Operations Guide - DOC. 6268 Crestron Isys® TPS-4000 10. 4 Inch Tilt Touchpanel For additional information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. It can be downloaded from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Software section of the Crestron website (www. crestron. com). Digital Signals A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low, recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive. ) Analog Signals Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values ranging from 0 to 65535 (216-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers, pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers. Serial Signals Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly-to control volume or temperature, for instance­the value of the serial signal is used as a pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters. When a serial signal is routed to a symbol, that symbol can identify the signal as serial rather than analog and it will automatically look at the data it points to. Thus serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a symbol that has a serial output. TPS-4000 Input/Output Signals The TPS-4000 symbol provides up to 4000 digital input and output joins, 4000 analog input and output joins, and up to 999 serial input joins. The programmer selects the signal types by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the Symbol Detail view when programming the panel. The following tables list and give functional descriptions for the touchpanel outputs and inputs. Digital Output Signal Descriptions OUTPUT press 1 through press 4000 DESCRIPTION Notifies control system of a button press on the touchpanel screen (1 - 4000). High/1 = Button being pressed Low/0 = Button not being pressed Digital Input Signal Descriptions INPUT fb 1 through fb 4000 DESCRIPTION Notifies panel of digital feedback (1 - 4000). This can represent that a touchpanel button was pressed or can be an actual device feedback, e. g. , that power was turned on.
