Entering Digital Join Number and Active Text
In this example, "play" is assigned digital channel (join number) 1 and active text
"PLAY" is entered. When the panel button associated with digital channel 1 (the
VCR button) is pressed, the active text will be displayed as a visual cue that the
button is pressed.
Digital channels are also referred to as "join numbers". Join numbers are numeric
identifiers assigned to an object or button. It is necessary to identify objects so the
input/output signals of SIMPL program can be named and routed properly.
A powerful tool to assist programmers in naming and routing signals for the Front
Panel is the synchronize signals command. Select Panel | Synchronize Signals. This
will automatically name all the input and output signals for the front panel in the
SIMPL Windows program. To display the signal names, open the CNX front panel
symbol in SIMPL Windows Detail View.
