The Configuration Software
Create a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink panel in two steps:
1. Design the layout of the text and graphics using GUI Configurator.
2. Assign functions to the text and graphics using Global Configurator.
The GUI Configurator software is a Windows-based application. The interface is designed
either by customizing an existing template or by designing an entirely new interface. GUI
Configurator offers several templates to manage control system devices.
After the GUI has been designed on a PC, the project is saved, built, and uploaded to
the TouchLink panel to verify what it looks like on the screen. It is then imported from
the TLP unit to Global Configurator where control functions are assigned to the text and
graphic items in the layout. After assigning the control functions, the project is rebuilt and
uploaded to the controller.
These two programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an
AV system as it grows and evolves.
Installing the Software
GUI Congurator and Global Congurator Installation
NOTE: You must use Global Configurator 3.1 or a later version and
GUI Configurator 1.2 or a later version to configure the TLP 1000MV or

Insert the disc provided into the DVD-ROM drive of the computer. If the setup program
does not start automatically, run
