Intelligent Building Series C-Touch Programming Reference

6.0 Using the Software

Before using the software some initial concepts need to be understood. The design of

the project is performed by using the left mouse button to select components, placing

them on a page and configuring them to operate as desired. This is the “design mode”

of the software.

The project may be used at any time in “simulation mode” where the action of the

project is much as it would be if it were running on an actual C-Touch unit. The

simulation mode is accessed by activating components in the project, as described in

the next section. Throughout the following we have assumed that a right click will

activate simulation mode (this is the default configuration of the software.)

Note: Don’t use the C-Touch software while using the C-Bus

installation software project manager or browser.

6.1 Activating Components

Activating a component causes it to perform the function that it is intended to

do. When a component is activated, it will either:

• Select another page; and/or

• Execute a C-Bus command

A component may be activated on the C-Touch Configuration Software by a

right mouse click on the component or by means of the special Simulation Mode

which is provided to exactly simulate C-Touch performance. The remote control

may also be simulated to activate a component (both described later.)

In the case of an actual C-Touch unit which is running the project the

component need only be touched. There is no disctinction between right and left

finger touches.

6.2 Selecting Pages

To select a particular page, either:

• Select the required page from the drop down list on the tool bar

• If the required page has a link from the current page, right click on the

component that links to it.
