[. . . ] instruction manual Design XPress Professional version 1. 1 On-Site Installer's Guide Software Software License and Warranty Agreement LICENSE GRANT. AMX grants to Licensee the non-exclusive right to use the AMX Software in the manner described in this License. The AMX Software consists of generally available programming and development software, product documentation, sample applications, tools and utilities, and miscellaneous technical information. Please refer to the README. TXT file on the compact disc or download for further information regarding the components of the AMX Software. The AMX Software is subject to restrictions on distribution described in this License Agreement. [. . . ] It will define the connections for all of the AMX equipment as well as all source and display equipment, IR ports, and any other connection that must be made. An example is: CD Changer is connected to NetLinx using IR port 2, IR pulse time 3/10 second DVD is connected to switcher input 1 Go through this section of the report one item at a time and perform each connection. Use this section as a list of connections to make and check them off as you go. General Information This section of the report details the user interface file names for each touch panel, which files need to be transferred to the Master, lighting scene addresses, file names of the generated NetLinx software, etc. An example is: Lighting Scenes Lighting Address=1 Button=102 Scene=Room Off Lighting Address=1 Button=1 Scene=Scene 1 14 DXP-PRO v1. 1 - On-Site Installer's Guide Understanding the Report File Macros This section of the report details all Macros added in the system, as well as a list of all steps contained in each Macro. Use this section to ensure that all of the intended functionality for each Macro has been added. An example is: Macro: MAX 1_1 Navigation and Routing Send Plasma command 'Power On' Execute delay of 1 second Send Plasma command 'BNC' of type Video Inputs Execute delay of 1 second MAX 1_1 Routes to Plsm BNC on Device Switcher Execute delay of 1 second Execute lighting scene 'Scene 5' Execute 'Close' using relay device Window, state = PUSH Execute delay of 2 seconds Execute 'Close' using relay device Window, state = RELEASE AMX Recommended Equipment List This section of the report lists all of the AMX equipment that will be needed to build, install, and run the system. Both model numbers and descriptions are given to make ordering the equipment a simple process. An example is: NXT-CV17: 17" Modero Widescreen [1] Note: use NXD-CV17 for wall mount MAX-MMS: MAX MultiMedia Server [1] DXP-PRO v1. 1 - On-Site Installer's Guide 15 Understanding the Report File 16 DXP-PRO v1. 1 - On-Site Installer's Guide Using NetLinx Studio Using NetLinx Studio Upon completion of the Design XPress wizard the next step is to use NetLinx Studio to open the created project file. From this point on, this document assumes the installer has a good understanding of NetLinx Studio (it can be a difficult installation if the installer is a first time Design XPress user and a first time NetLinx Studio user). To open the workspace, use the Open Workspace option in the File menu and navigate to the folder where your project file resides. Once the workspace is open, expand all branches of the Navigator view to see the files that have been created in the project. There is also an option in DXP-PRO (upon completion of a project) that provides a popup dialog that gives you the option to automatically open the newly created workspace in NetLinx Studio. This is the main file and contains most of the system configuration information entered into the application/wizard. All other NetLinx software files are under the Include branch of the tree. There are a lot of include files because the software is broken up by function. For example, Lights_Tp. axi contains the software for controlling lights via the touch panels. All of the touch panel files are located under the User Interface branch. To compile your project, open up the main source file and then select the Build Active System option under the Build menu (or click on the Build Active System icon from the toolbar below the Main menu). Any time changes are made the software has to be compiled. Remember that the page flips for the touch panel are code-driven by the Master containing the downloaded project file information. If the target Master (ex:192. 192. 192. 192) does not contain the compiled project files from NetLinx Studio and/or is not configured as the target Master within the G4 panel's System Connection firmware page; page flips will not work. The action of pressing a location on the panel sends this request to the target Master, which then replies back to the panel with the corresponding action to take. Without the proper codes loaded on the target Master, the panel page or button doesn't have the any destination action information. Before beginning: 1. [. . . ] Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Press Done once the Master Reboot Status field reads Reboot of System Complete. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. [. . . ]
