Panels entry in the System Information dialog. This table displays several types of
information for each panel, separated into five columns:
• Panel ID: The Panel ID is based on the number of panels specified in the System
Information dialog. This field cannot be edited in this dialog. To remove panels, or
from the Project, go to the System Information dialog.
• Display Name: The Display Name indicated here is based on the order in which
the panels were added to the project (Panel1, Panel2, etc).. You can change the
default display name by editing the Display Name text field at the bottom of this
dialog, and click the Apply button.

in the list. You can change the panel type via the Panel Type drop-down list at the
bottom of this dialog (click the Apply button to save the change).

with. To change the audio zone for a panel, click the down arrow next to the Audio

• Use PictureFrame For
Inactivity Page:
Click this option to use the PictureFrame application as a screensaver when the
touch panel becomes inactive. If this option is selected, you'll have to open the TP4
file created by the DXP wizard, and configure the dynamic image properties to pull
images from the PC running the PictureFrame application.
Note: If the panel timeout is set to zero, the panel will never go to the Inactivity Page.
Panel Timeout is a setting that is made directly on the touch panel (via the Setup
pages on the panel).
