Introduction; Supported Operating Systems - AMX KPDESIGN KEYPAD DESIGN PROGRAM Instruction Manual

Introduction

The KPDesign software design program enables creation of user interface (UI) pages for the PLK-
DMS and PLK-IMS KeyPads. This design tool provides a method for programmers and system
designers to create a set of pages, menus, and an associated output file. KPDesign generates KPD
files that can be imported into a Project in the NetLinx Studio program.
The NetLinx Studio compiler uses Modules (code blocks) to accommodate KPDesign files in the
compiled Source Code file, and handles transferring the code to the Master, and to the keypad(s).
