  • Page 12: Getting Started

    After clicking this, a new dialog will pop up, prompting the user to choose the type of device they would like to add to the project. This lists all of the devices supported by RCP. Select the device type to add to the project.
  • Page 13 After selecting the device type, the user then has the ability to give the device a name. The device name is solely used within RCP to help denote different devices within a project. Certain devices support the ability to receive the device data upon being added to the project. If a device does not support this, then the option will be greyed out.

  • Page 14: Opening An Existing Project

    If you hover over the check box or text a tooltip will appear detailing the data that will be transferred from the device to the RCP project. Clicking “Cancel” will close the pop-up, will not transfer any data, and the project will open with default values.

The settings are read into RCP when RCP is started so that the configuration values are what they were the last time RCP ran.

  • Page 19: Removing Control Characters From The Project File

    RCD project file contains control characters. If the project file contains control characters, RCP will display an error when trying to open the project file. If this occurs, run this on the project file to remove the characters, and then reopen the project file; it will then load without error.

  • Page 25 If the device supports the feature, then the drop-down box is enabled. Devices with updated firmware to support this feature may not have the option to select the pack type and the RCP control will be read-only. Older firmware will be reported as feature is not supported.
  • Page 26 For devices that support the USB communication a new feature has been added in the 2.5 release of RCP. This feature allows the device configuration to be read from and written to the device with the IR adapter (refer to the product-specific manual for the location of the IR window).

  • Page 27: Input Configuration

    These procedures can be referenced in the product-specific transmitter manual. Once the device has been placed in this mode RCP can then start to communicate with the device. NOTE: Make sure that the IR adapter and the device’s IR window are lined up. Do not move the IR adapter when communication is occurring as this may cause errors in RCP.

  • Page 96: Multi-Input Mode Using The Matrix Channel

    This is the same process explained in Section 5. Once the project is started, navigate to the Programming tab across the bottom of the UI. From the I/O tab add a Matrix Channel to the workspace. Changing the Input Mode of the channel  changes the Matrix Channel display. This mode  allows individual channels to drive each of the  speed points defined.  Changing the Input Mode enables the  corresponding input properties. The number of  enabled inputs is based on the number of  speed points selected.  RCP User’s Guide July 2017   Page 96 of 110...
