Setting the channel code

The channel button sets the device and button channel codes.
Channel codes and variable text codes work the same for all button types, including
joysticks, and bargraphs.
1. In the Button Properties page, press DEV to open the keypad and set the touch panel's device
number.
2. Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the keypad. The programming software uses device codes 1 - 4 to identify
the touch panel. Refer to the G3 Firmware Design and Reference instruction manual for more
information.
If DEVICE USED is set to 4 and Base Device Number is 128, the Controller recognizes
bus devices 128 - 131.
The panel will not allow you to enter a device number greater than the DEVICE USED
without first displaying a decision box asking if you accept the new selection or not.
3. Press ENTER to save the device number, close the keypad, and return to the Button Properties
page.
4. Press CHAN to open the keypad and enter a channel value of 1 - 255. The source code uses the
channel code number to identify the button and its programmed operations. The channel code
for non-active buttons is 0.
5. Press ENTER to save the channel number, close the keypad, and return to the Button
Properties page.

panel.
