The heart of any well-designed control system is the user-interface. This is the link
between the end-user and the control system itself. Crestron control systems offer an
impressive array of user-interface options, from the top-of-the-line video
touchpanels, to the cost-effective and simple wired button panels. No matter what
type of interface(s) you are using in your system, it is important to know how to
program them properly.

Feedback

Feedback lets the user know that a button press has registered with the system. This
is especially important for touchpanels, where the user cannot tell from feel alone
whether they pressed in the right spot. Another purpose feedback serves is to provide
information to the user about the current state of the system (that the VCR is
currently in PLAY mode, for example).
Visual Button Feedback
Whether a button is pressed or not is determined by the user (or the user's finger to
be exact!) but it is a signal that decides whether a button is shown in its feedback
state or not. Therefore, the signal is the driving force for the button feedback. Where
