Device Configuration dialog

The Device Configuration dialog is used to add or edit devices in the Device Information List. Use
the options in this dialog to select the device type, the display name, control method and other
information specific to the control method.
When a device using IR Control is selected for editing, the Device Configuration dialog divides out
into four tabs:
When a non- IR controlled device is selected, only the Device Data tab is displayed.

The options in the Device Data tab of the Device Configuration dialog allow you to associate a
control method to a new device in the system. The options in this tab include:
DXP-HT v1.3 - Programmer's Guide
Click the Add button in the System Information dialog to open the Device Configuration
dialog to configure a new device.
Select a Device from the Device Information table (in the System Information dialog) and
click the Edit command button (or double-click on a device in the table) to open the
Device Configuration dialog.
Device Data: Contains fields that specify the device type, device display name, control
method and control data for a controlled device in the project.
IR Mapping: The options in this tab help to insure that the button you press on the touch
panel does what you expect. This tab is where you specify the IR Mapping for the
selected device.
Control Configuration: The options in this tab are used to configure the AMX IR port to
properly transmit the IR signal to the AV equipment. This tab requires that you know how
your equipment operates.
Note that the Control Configuration tab is only applicable if:
The selected device is IR-controlled (IR was selected as the Control Method in the
Device Data tab).
An IR file has been associated with the device (via the IR Data options in the Device
Data tab).
Power Control: The options in this tab allow you to configure power control for the AV
equipment. This tab requires that you know how your equipment operates.
Device Data: When defining a source you must first define the type of the source. The
Source Type determines what pages are added to the touch panel file and what control
functions are assigned to the device. The Display Name is used with the touch panel
menus to reference the device. Each Display name should be unique to differentiate the
devices in the wizard and on the touch panel.
