Touchpanels
20 • Series 1000 Wall-Mounted Touchpanels
pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each Series 1000 touchpanel
application. Each page contains objects such as custom control graphics, two and
three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user to
interface with the control system via join numbers. Unjoined objects are not
interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions. The completed and
compiled project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash
PROM via the File | Upload Project command. The touchpanel uses the
programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be
disconnected from the control system or panel except during reprogramming. VT
Pro-e also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers
rather than for physical touchpanels.
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 Downloads | Software
Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
WAV File Audio Messages
The Series 1000 touchpanel is capable of playing audio messages as system prompts
and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility
such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/ 2000™. Files from other sources may also be converted to an
acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The touchpanel only accepts the following
WAV file format: PCM, 8KHz, mono, 8 bit.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: WAV files for the touchpanel are available from the Wave LC Library of
the Crestron FTP site (ftp://ftp.crestron.com).
Only use those WAV files designated for the CT/LC-1000 touchpanels. These WAV
files are different than those made available for the CNXTA and Crestron CNX
Telephone Audio Interface Card.
Sound Manager
NOTE: If keyclick is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel results
in an audible click. It may be desirable to conceal the keyclick sound for certain
buttons (eg., if the button triggers playing of a WAV file). Using VT Pro-e, the panel
designer has the option to suppress the keyclick on a button-by-button basis from the
"Button Properties" window.
Crestron VT Pro-e (version 2.1.0 and later) contains an audio tool, Sound Manager,
which permits the panel designer to attach WAV files to a touchpanel project. Sound
Manager is available from the Tools pull-down menu and opens the "Sound
Manager" window, shown after this paragraph.
