The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail
View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e to allow accessing the
embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs as well as
selection of the system mode. There are no special programming requirements to use
the functions of the TPS-4L in a room control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
Multi-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
The single most-advanced VisionTools Pro-e high-performance programming
technique involving the TPS-4L is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode
object (i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VisionTools Pro-e page that
can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
and search for
multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VisionTools Pro-e touchpanel
files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of
multi-mode objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPS-4L touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system prompts
and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility
such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPS-4L touchpanels only accept the
following WAV file format: 8-bit PCM, mono, 8KHz. For more information about
how to use Sound Recorder, refer to its User’s Guide and extensive help information
provided with the software. Also refer to the help file in VisionTools Pro-e to learn
how to use its audio tool, Sound Manager, to attach WAV files to a touchpanel
project.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: Touchpanel WAV files can be obtained from the Wave LC Library of the
Crestron FTP site.
Bit Depth and File Size
A bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each
pixel in a raster image. A touchpanel raster image consists of a rectangular grid of
picture elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its
color data. The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image.
Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit
depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit
per pixel to store all the available color information. Using a 32-bit per pixel bit
depth for a black and white image increases the file size 32 times without adding
anything to the black and white image quality.
