Which Screens? dialog
This dialog is available for selection in the Jump To drop-down once the project has been finished
and re-opened. Use this dialog to specify which Project Wizard dialogs to include in the Jump To
list, to further simplify using the application. By default, all dialogs are selected. Click the
checkboxes to disable any dialogs that you don't intend to revisit for editing.
Once you have made your selections, click Back or Next to close this dialog.
Note that you can't disable the System Information and System Configuration dialogs.
System Configuration dialog (Cont.)
• Weather: Use these options to specify general weather data preferences for the system:
• Use i!-Weather: Check this box if you are using the i!-Weather application to
manage weather data (enabled by default). If this option is disabled, the other
weather-related options are disabled as well.
• Default ZIP Code: Enter a five-digit ZIP code for the location of the system, to
retrieve local weather data.
To activate the i!-Weather account, follow the instructions on the panel.
Note: If the i!-Weather application is installed on a Master without a weather
account, only AMX-related locations are viewable within the i!-Weather page on
the touch panel. To gain access to any zip code's weather information, you must
purchase a subscription from AMX.
To obtain this subscription, you will need the serial number of your target Master.
This appears on the i!-Weather setup page on the panel (once the project is
loaded). Another method of obtaining the Master's serial number is by going into a
Terminal session and typing 'show device'.
• i!-TimeManager: Use these options to enable the i!-TimeManager application to manage time for
the system. Select the Use i!-TimeManager checkbox to enable the following
options:
• Time Zone: Click the down arrow to select from a drop-down list of time zones
(obtained from the OS). Note that Windows™ 2000 and XP (operating systems)
provide a different time zone listing than ME.
• Automatically adjust clock to daylight saving changes: This option enables
automatic adjustments to the system clock based on daylight savings changes
(enabled by default).
• Location: Enter the name of the city, town or province.
• Longitude/Latitude: Enter longitude and latitude coordinates.
• Include i!-Schedule: If enabled, this option will generate a custom i!-Schedule module file that allows
you to program custom scheduled events.
Refer to the i!-Schedule on-line help and Instruction Manual (available online at
www.amx.com) for details.
