tabletop, portrait, or landscape panel. In order to assist programmers and developers with designing the perfect project,
each Modero X Series G5 touch panel shares the following features:

Transitioning from G4 to G5

The G5 platform is a new operating system for Modero X Series touch panels, and existing TPDesign4 files are not
compatible with G5 touch panels. A new software tool, TPDesign5, is required to design touch panel files for G5
systems, and is available for download at www.amx.com.
TPDesign5 is similar in look and feel to TPDesign4 and can be installed concurrently with TPDesign4 to enable the
developer to design for both G4 and G5 systems at the same time. TPDesign5 also contains a utility called G4Utility, that
converts existing TPD4 files to TPD5-formatted files.
While G4Utility converts the bulk of a TPD4 file to a format usable in TPD5, given the enormous variations of TPD4
files currently in the field, some tweaking of the converted TPD5 file may still be necessary afterwards.
For more information on transitioning from the G4 platform to G5, please refer to the
AMX G5 Considerations white paper, available at www.amx.com.
