Configuration Software

Designing a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink Pro touchpanel takes two steps:

1. Design the layout of the screen text and graphics using GUI Designer.

2. Assign functions to the text and graphics using Global Conﬁgurator Plus and Global

Conﬁgurator Professional.

The user interface of the touchpanel is designed with GUI Designer software, which is a

Windows-based application. You can either customize an existing template or create an entirely

new interface. GUIDesigner offers several templates.

After the user interface has been designed on a PC, the project is saved, built, and imported into

Global Configurator, where the appropriate control functions are assigned to the text and graphic

items of the interface. After assigning the control functions, the project is rebuilt and uploaded to

the control processor and touchpanel.

The GUI Designer and the Global Configurator Plus and Global Configurator Professional

programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an AV system as it

grows and evolves.
