G4 Computer Control Configuration
Launch TPDesign4 and open an existing project, or create a new one.
Refer to the online help for instructions on using TPDesign4.
If you already have a TPD4 project that utilizes G4CC, then open the
Computer Control page in that project and skip to step 5.
Create or open a panel page and draw a button that covers most or all of
that panel page.
In the General tab of the Button Properties window, set the button's Type to
Computer Control.
Either leave this field blank (preferred) or enter the IP Address of the
Netlinx master in the Remote Host field.
Toggle the Scale To Fit and TakeNote Enabled fields to yes.
In the Programming tab of the Button Properties window, verify that the
Address Port field = 1.
Double-click within the Address Code field and enter a value specific to the
G4CC functionality within this TPD4 project (example: 123).
Create TakeNote functionality buttons (such as Toggle/Annotation, Clear
Screen, Undo, and Color) as needed:
a. Draw a General-type button on top of the new Computer Control
button.
b. In the States tab of the Button Properties window, change the fill in
color and label the button Annotation. When complete, navigate to the
the Programming tab.
c. In the Channel Port field, select 0-setup port.
d. In the Channel Code field, select Advanced Codes > TakeNote >
Toggle/Activate Annotation.
Repeat these steps to add more TakeNote function buttons to the project
as needed.
Select Transfer > Connect > New to connect the PC to the Master that is
communicating to the target panel.
a. Enter a Name for the connection and specify the IP Address of the
Master in the Connection Settings dialog. Click OK to create the new
connection type and return to the Connect dialog.
b. Click Connect to establish the connection to the Master.
Determine your transfer options and click Send to begin the upload
