Duplicating A Device; Device Configuration Dialog - AMX AXT-CA10 Instruction Manual

Duplicating a Device

DXP-PRO supports duplicating existing source devices and their settings via the Duplicate button
on the System Information dialog. Use the Duplicate feature to make a copy of the currently
selected device, to allow for quick configuration for systems with multiple identical devices.
To duplicate an existing source device and its current settings:
1. Select a source device in the System Information dialog.
2. Click the Duplicate button
3. A duplicate of the selected source device is added to the Device Information table in the row
below the selection.
4. When a source is duplicated its "Display Name" will be truncated to 13 characters and "_00"
added, where 00 is next sequential number for that display name. For example, if you
duplicated a source with the Display Name "DSS", the resulting duplicate source would have
the Display Name "DSS_1".

Device Configuration Dialog

The Device Configuration dialog (FIG. 4) is used to add or edit devices in the Device Information
List. Use the options in this dialog to select the device type, the display name, control method and
other information specific to the control method.
When a non-IR controlled device is selected, only the Device Data tab is displayed.
When a device using IR Control is selected for editing, the Device Configuration screen divides out
into four tabs: Device Data, IR Mapping, Control Configuration and Power Control:
DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer's Guide
The Duplicate button is only enabled once a device (DVD, CDP, MP3 player etc.) is
added to the project, and only if DXP-PRO supports multiple devices of that type.
The program will not allow you exceed the maximum number of instances of the selected
device type. For example, if the system contains two switchers, the maximum number of
A/V Switchers allowed is two. In this case, the Duplicate button is disabled.
Click the Add button in the System Information dialog to open the Device Configuration
dialog to configure a new device.
Select a device from the Device Information table (in the System Information dialog) and
click the Edit command button (or double-click on a device in the table) to open the
Device Configuration dialog and begin editing.
Device Data tab: Contains fields that specify the device type, device display name,
control method, and control data for a controlled device in the project.
IR Mapping tab: The options in this tab help to insure that the button you press on the
touch panel does what you expect. This tab is where you specify the IR Mapping for the
selected device.
