Pushbutton Layout and Join
Number Assignment

in the new STX-1700C symbol at RF ID 01. The logic in the original STX-1700C
symbol at RF ID 02 must be copied and pasted in the new STX-1700C symbol at RF
ID 02. To do this for RF ID 01 (in Program View), place the arrow cursor on the
original touchpanel at RF ID 01. Right click and hold the mouse button to select RF
ID 01. Drag and drop this RF ID 01 selection on the new touchpanel at RF ID 01 and
release the mouse button (a pulldown menu appears). Select Copy All Signals/
Parameters from the pulldown menu.
Programming with VT Pro-e
Control screen variations incorporating two- and three-dimensional graphics and text
are possible and can be created with VT Pro-e, a design and programming
Windows
-based software program. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be
designed for each application. Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal,
color-oriented control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and
three-dimensional buttons, and floor plans. The project is uploaded to the
touchpanel's flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded
from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control processor except when
uploading a project.
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 Crestron website.
Optional Pushbuttons
If the optional ten "hard" pushbuttons are installed, you can use these buttons to
access any frequently used commands (refer to "Appendix B: Installation of
Optional Pushbuttons"). Each button has a permanently fixed digital join number;
refer to the illustration shown to the left. The sequence of digital join numbers is (top
to bottom) 1 through 5 on the left side and 6 through 10 on the right side.
NOTE: A user may not want the display to come on after a pushbutton is pressed
when the unit is off. The Startup Preference option allows the user to select whether
the touchpanel's display comes on or stays off after a pushbutton is pressed. For
more information, refer to "Startup Preference" on page 10.
NOTE: To program a quick pushbutton to flip a page (change a screen) on the
STX-1700C, go to the Hard Keys tab of the "Project Properties" window in
VT Pro-e. Select a button from the Button drop-down list, and then select the desired
page from the Page Flip drop-down list. When the button is pressed, the page is
displayed.
The quick pushbuttons can also be programmed to do a page flip via SIMPL
Windows.
Reserved Join Numbers
A reserved join number is a feature of the software that enables a designer to create a
button that completes a predetermined function. The tables on the next page provide
lists of reserved join numbers available within the VT Pro-e software.
NOTE: Many touchpanel configuration "shortcuts" are available via the software.
A button can be created on a page that either calls up the Preferences Menu, adjusts
brightness, etc., via reserved join numbers.
