04. The chained device will share the master device's definition, and it will be
displayed in the top System View as a Chained
icon.
The Chain Master panel will automatically display the Net IDs of all touchpanels
that have been chained to it. In the following example, the Chain Master has two
chained touchpanels located at Net IDs 03 and 05. As indicated below, the chained
panel will lose any signals that were previously defined.
Connecting Signals
After you build the system by adding all the necessary Crestron hardware in
Configuration Manager, begin programming the system by working in the
Programming Manager. Program each button function from the system touchpanels
or other user interface devices. Begin by naming the output signals from the user
interface (output signals will already have assigned names if a VT Pro-e project has
been brought in when configuring a touchpanel in Configuration Manager).
Select the symbol(s) needed for the program in the Symbol Library. Drag and drop
the symbols into the Program View window. Assign signal names to symbol inputs
and outputs in the Detail View window.
Define Signals from User Interface
User interfaces are usually the most convenient place to begin programming. In a
program, button presses (whether from a touchpanel, wired or wireless button panel,
keypad, or other interface) are associated with signals. When a button is pressed, the
corresponding signal name is asserted in the control system program. When the
button is released, that same signal is un-asserted.
