(CN-WP12FI, etc.). The available CNXPAD8A.SMW program described in the subsequent subsections provides basic control of the CNX-PAD8A. By using a touchpanel, one of eight audio sources may be selected, distributed to room amplifiers, and the volume may be adjusted. -
Page 19: The Cnx-Pad8A Basic Program
Crestron touchpanel screen designs. The CNX-PAD8A Basic Program The CNX-PAD8A basic SIMPL Windows program is described below in block diagrams. The diagrams show the symbols that are required to perform the audio distribution functions. There may be up to 32 room outputs of a daisy-chained CNX-PAD8A system but, for clarity, only one is described. - Page 20 Analog initialize symbol S-2 receives the source select signal from the touchpanel (A) and outputs analog signal room_1_source. This signal is routed to the CNX-PAD8A (E) and the symbols that are used to illuminate the front panel LED (F). A room_1_off signal from the touchpanel turns the source selection signal off.
- Page 21 An analog ramp is used to adjust the room volume. The symbol receives volume_up and volume_down signals (B) from the touchpanel buttons. The level of the volume is sent to the CNX-PAD8A (E). The ramp will adjust through the entire range of the volume (0% to 100%) in 5-seconds.
- Page 22 S-4 to output the room_1_mute signal from the high output. This signal is sent to the CNX-PAD8A (E) to mute the audio. When in the “mute mode”, pressing the touchpanel MUTE button again clocks the toggle to remove the mute signal.
