monitoring the update status. It is not required to be connected for the update to
proceed.
• Info Tab.
• All important information relative to a customer’s project can now be stored in the project
in Composer Pro’s Info tab.
• When viewing the System Design view, you will find the Info tab next to the Properties
and List View tabs in the middle pane of the window.
• Information about the system owner, the dealer, installer, all relative contact information
and specific notes regarding the system’s configuration can all be saved in the project
when entered in Composer Pro’s new Info section.
• Touch Screens.
• Programmatically changing backlight levels on a Touch Screen when in screen saver
mode now executes as programmed.
• Mini Touch Screen waking up from screen saver may incorrectly display top buttons – If a
Mini Touch Screen is configured to wake up from the screen saver and go to a default
view that is other than the main view such as the lighting or music view, the top row of
buttons along the top of the Mini Touch Screen’s display may be displayed incorrectly.
Going back to the home screen will reset this display.
• LED Colors. Custom colors are now persistent in the custom color list for Dimmer, Switch
and Keypad LED color configuration.
• Agents.
• Several configurations of announcements or deselecting the “Show OK” button in
Composer Pro’s Announcement Agent view could cause Composer Pro to crash in 1.6.0.
This issue is now resolved.
• Images used in the Announcement Agent and in the web images from the camera driver
should be no larger than 300 KB – The display of images in the Announcement Agent
and the display of web images through the web images camera driver is designed to work
with small images commonly used on websites or in graphical user interfaces. The
recommended size for these images is 300 KB or less. Larger images will be scaled to
the required size for Navigator but this scaling process for very large images can cause a
Mini Touch to restart.
• Deleting an agent configuration may not delete all associated programming – When
deleting an agent, please confirm that all associated programming is also deleted. It may
be required to manually delete some elements of associated programming.
• Events.
• Using a randomized time for a scheduled event start time now properly uses a
randomized time value.
• In the 1.6 version of Composer Pro, the issue of seeing Scheduler events duplicated in
the Scheduler Agent view has been resolved.
• Variables.
• Container variables in Media Scenes or connection outputs on an Amplifier now function
as configured. An issue was discovered with this type of configuration in 1.6.0.
• Use of random numbers is programming variables has been improved.
• Container variables and lights – As with previous releases, we recommend that you not
utilize container variables for lighting. The 2-way feedback from the individual lights can
