Panel Calibration Panel Calibration Overview This section outlines the steps for calibrating the touch panel. Calibrating the panel before its initial use and after completing a firmware download is highly recommended. Modero panels are set up in the factory with specific demo touch panel pages. The first splash screen that appears indicates the panel is receiving power, beginning to load firmware, and preparing to display the default touch panel pages.
Panel Calibration If the calibration was improperly set and you cannot return to the Calibrate page through the panel’s firmware, this firmware page may be accessed via G4 WebControl, where you can navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the Calibrate button through a VNC window. This action causes the panel to go to the Calibrate page seen above, where the actual touch panel may be physically calibrated again using the above procedures.
Configuring Communication Configuring Communication Overview Communication between the Modero panel and the Master is done using either USB or ETHERNET (DHCP or Static IP). Ethernet communication can only be achieved via a direct Ethernet connection. Before commencing, verify that you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel firmware, and also verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications. These are available at www.amx.com.
Configuring Communication 8. Obtain the System Number and Master IP Address from NetLinx Studio. This information must be specific for the system used with the configured Modero panel. 9. Press the Front Setup Access button for 4 seconds to open the Setup page. 10. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page. 11. Press the System Settings button (located on the Protected Setup page) to open the System Settings page (FIG.
Configuring Communication Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master NetLinx Studio can be set up to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.
Configuring Communication Step 3: Confirm and View Current AMX USB Device Connections The USB driver information can be confirmed via two different methods: Via the Control panel (previous steps 1 and 2) or Via the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon from the Taskbar. 1. Navigate to Start > Settings > Control Panel > and double-click the System icon to launch the System Properties dialog. 2. Select the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button to launch the Device Manager dialog.

Configuring Communication Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection It is necessary to tell the panel as to which Master it should be communicating. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, where the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master is configured. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red, indicating that it has no current connection to a Master.
Configuring Communication IP Settings section - Configuring a Static IP Address over Ethernet 1. Select Protected Setup > System Settings located on the lower left to open the System Settings page. 2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page. Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel continues. 3.
Configuring Communication Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type When using Ethernet as the selected communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be set up with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator. Before beginning: 1. Verify that the panel has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable connected from the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub.
Configuring Communication 4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog (FIG. 28). 5. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button from the Platform Selection section to indicate that you are working as a NetLinx Master. 6.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common operation of a Modero touch panel. Troubleshooting Information Symptom Solution My USB drivers has a yellow exclamation point and doesn’t appear to be working. The USB driver was incorrectly installed and should be re-installed: • Power up the panel without the USB cable connected to the panel. • Plug in the USB cable into the G4 panel.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution My Modero panel can’t obtain a DHCP Address In requesting a DHCP Address, the DHCP Server can take up to a few minutes to provide the address. • Verify that an active Ethernet connection is attached to the rear of the Modero before beginning these procedures. • Select Diagnostics > Network Address from the Main menu and verify the System number.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution The left border of the graphics has a crawling, dashed line. • On some units at some resolutions, wavy lines may appear across the entire screen. This has been seen on middle resolutions and is referred to as the "Mid Range Fallout" problem. • This is due to the graphics controller settings in the firmware. • Update to the latest v2.XX.XX firmware. Visit the www.amx.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution After downloading a panel file or firmware to a G4 device, the panel behaves strangely. Symptoms include: • Having to repeat the download. • Inability to make further downloads to the panel. May get "directory" errors, "graphics hierarchy" errors, etc.… indicating problems with the Flash memory. • Panel will not boot, or gets stuck on "AMX" splash screen.
Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be provided dynamically generated information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes would be entered into the text field along with any other text.
Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, these could be limited to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields.
Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes Input Mask Ranges These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY. Input Mask Ranges Character Meaning [ Start range ] End range | Range Separator An example from the above table: [0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.
Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes When data overflows from a numerical field, the overflow value is added to the previous field on the chain if the overflow character was specified. In the above example, if the overflow flag was set, the first example will place the "1" into the previous logical field and the second example will place "12" in the previous logical field.
Appendix A - Text Formatting Codes Special Escape Sequences The system has only a limited knowledge of URL formats in that it transparently passes the URL information onto the server for translation. A user can then pass any parameters to server side programs such as CGI scripts or active server pages. However, the system will parse the URL looking for special escape codes. When it finds an escape code, it replaces that code with a particular piece of panel, button, or state information.

Appendix B - Complex Script Support Appendix B - Complex Script Support Overview In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its use is intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text. This includes proper rendering of right-to-left languages such as, but not limited to, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devangari (FIG. 68). Both the NXD-500i and TPDesign4 (v3.
Appendix B - Complex Script Support Some languages, notably Hindi and Tamil, are not supported by coded pages. These languages will display “???” for characters entered via the language bar, even if the selected font supports the language. Text in these languages can still be pasted via the clipboard or via the Alt- method. For more information on TPDesign4 and its complex script support, please refer to the TPDesign4 (v3.0 or higher) Operation Reference Guide, available at www.amx.com.
