About Global Configurator (with GCProfessional and GCPlus Modes)
Global Configurator:
• Loads device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices within the AV
system.
• Uploads GUIDesigner interface layouts to touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces.
• Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the control processor and the
products with which it interacts in the AV system.
• Uploads the configuration to the control processor.
To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account and
contact an Extron support representative. Extron provides training to our customers on how
to use the software. Access to the features of Global Configurator Professional is available
to users who successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification.
About Global Scripter
For those who prefer to program control systems rather than configure them, Extron offers
GlobalScripter as an alternative to Global Configurator. Global Scripter is an integrated
programming development environment for Extron IPLinkPro, TouchLinkPro, and eBUS
products. It uses the object-oriented Python programming language and a custom Python
library called ControlScript. Global Scripter includes the ControlScript API as well as all of
the tools for developing control system programs, such as file management, code editing,
debugging and diagnostic tools. More information is available at http://www.extron.com/
