DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide
Before You Begin
The first step in defining the system is to run the Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO)
application. This Windows
®
based wizard should be run in the office well in advance of going on-
site. With this wizard you define the locations of all equipment, the number of user interface
devices, lighting scenes, source equipment, etc.
There is one important note related to the use of lighting addresses. Lighting addresses consist of
both a keypad address and button. The keypad address is the address of the keypad for the lighting
system being used and must be represented in the format for that lighting system. The formats for
the supported lighting systems are listed below:
Once the application entries are completed, the touch panel files, source code, NetLinx Studio
project file, text files (CD titles, etc.), and report file are all created.
Configuring your Program Preferences
Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, where you can specifically set various
user preferences for DXP-PRO. The options in this dialog include:
 Show Splash Screen on Startup: A toggling option to show the DXP-PRO splash screen
when the program is started. If this item is not checked the splash screen can be viewed
by selecting Help > About.
 Warning on duplicate Channel Preset Names and Channels: Alerts you to the creation
of duplicate channel preset names and channels. All Channel Preset names and channels
