erformance innovation!

Functional Description

The Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L is a 15-inch (38.1-cm) XGA (1024 x 768) display
suitable for lectern or wall mount in any Crestron remote control system (herein
referred to as the Cresnet system). The unit operates in a 16-bit graphics mode
(65,536 colors); palettes are not required. When displaying video or RGB sources
with the appropriate expansion card installed, the TPS-6000L can display up to
262,144 colors. There are two TPS-6000L models. The only difference between the
two units is that one has a black bezel (TPS-6000LB) and the other has a white bezel
(TPS-6000LW).
The purpose of the TPS-6000L touchpanel is to replace large, complicated hard-
wired panels in either a Cresnet system or an RS-232 system with a series of simpler
screens each specific to the control problem at hand. Thus, very large number of
functions can be made available to the user without the confusion associated with
hardware panels of that complexity. Icons, graphics, and text can dramatically
increase any user's comprehension of the control environment. Devices, functions,
and control zones are quickly organized and more easily accessed. The TPS-6000L
touchpanels offer:
Three non-interchangeable card slots for expansion
Memory upgrade
Built-in microphone and speakers for sound
Pop-up sub panels to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance
Multiple button, slider control, and icon configurations, including multi-mode objects
Up to 4,000 functions and unlimited screens
Fast graphics performance: imported photographs, drawings, and icons
Support for downloadable fonts – proportional and non-proportional
Foreign language text

15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
Expansion Slots
Each TPS-6000L has three dedicated slots for additional functionality. The slots are empty with blank cover plates. Cards are purchased separately. Installation instructions are provided with each card. Each card features the following:
TPS-ENETL – a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card provides Ethernet capability to the touchpanel.
TPS-VIDL – a TV video digitizer card that allows NTSC/PAL video to be played in a window on the touchpanel or full screen.
TPS-XVGAL – a RGB digitizer that scan converts a computer source up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz (110 Hz @ 640 x 480) vertical rate to a window on the touchpanel or full screen.
NOTE: The three cards are NOT interchangeable.
Memory
The TPS-6000L ships with 8MB of flash and 8MB of DRAM. Additional memory (purchased separately) can be installed in the field. The flash can be replaced with modules of up to 64MB. The DRAM module can be replaced with modules up to 32MB. Installation instructions are provided with each memory module.
Sound
The TPS-6000L has four built-in speakers with power amplifiers. Sound can be generated by the panel by using downloaded wave files (.WAV) or can be mixed in from an external line level audio source. The audio amplifiers output two watts per channel. Refer to "Appendix A: WAV File Audio Messages" on page 28 for WAV file details. There is a built-in microphone in the touchpanel, which is amplified to produce a line level differential output. The microphone amplifier has two modes, AGC or fixed gain. The AGC is selectable using an internal join number, refer to "Reserved Join Numbers" on page 24.
I/O Connectors
All totaled, there are 13 potential I/O connectors available on the TPS-6000L. Four of the 13 connectors are resident on the touchpanel as shipped from Crestron. The remaining nine connectors are optional and require the additional purchase and installation of expansion cards.
The resident connectors are:

Installation/Setup

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (NET ID). These codes are assigned a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE. Refer to "Setup Menu" on page 11 for instructions on setting the unit's NET ID. The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to "Programming with SIMPL™ Windows for a sample.
" on page 20

Recommended Cleaning

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could degrade optical properties. Long term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality.
For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Remove bezels to clean entire touchscreen surface. Apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture within the panels.

Network Wiring

NOTE: When making wire connections, refer to the latest revision of the Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL Libraries) of the Crestron website (www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular network run, the length of the run and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.

NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

Configuring the Touchpanel

To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation. The Main Menu for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen as power is applied. Remove your finger when the message "SETUP MODE" appears on the touchscreen. Holding a finger to the touchscreen for five seconds after the "SETUP MODE" message is displayed sets the brightness to high.
Upon entering SETUP MODE, the Main Menu, shown after this paragraph, displays four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run Program, Setup, and Diagnostics.
Main Menu
The Exit and Run Program button verifies that all of the setup information has been saved to EEPROM and displays the main page that has been programmed into your system. The remaining buttons on the Main Menu open other menus, which are discussed in subsequent paragraphs.

Calibration Menu

Calibration of the touchscreen is required if the active touch area of a button does not coincide with the button's image. Select the Touch Screen Calibration button to display the Calibration Menu, shown after this paragraph. The Calibration Menu offers the choice to initiate calibration with the Perform Calibration button or return to the previous screen with the Return button. Choose an option by touching the correct button.

Many touchpanel options (i.e., standby timeout, brightness, panel tracking, and Ethernet) are available directly from the Setup Menu and are explained in the following paragraphs. Other setup parameters (i.e., interface, RS-232, audio, RGB, and video) use additional menus and are detailed in subsequent paragraphs as well. After setup parameters have been set, select the Return button to return to the Main Menu.
Operations Guide - DOC. 5825 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L 11
15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
Setup Menu
NOTE: All touchpanel settings, except those menus with a Save and Return button, are automatically saved in non-volatile memory.
Standby Timeout
The touchpanel display can be turned off (standby mode) when not in active use. STANDBY TIMEOUT, located in the middle of the Setup Menu, can turn off the touchpanel when it is inactive for a specified time frame (minutes, shown as XXX in the illustration). When the touchpanel is activated, the last screen to be displayed reappears. Minutes can vary from 0 to 120, where 0 disables the timeout. DOWN and UP buttons decrease and increase the timeout, respectively.
Brightness
Screen brightness may need to be altered because of ambient light conditions or personal preference. BRIGHTNESS, located in the lower left corner of the Setup Menu, can change the brightness level of the display. The current brightness setting is shown as a percentage in the Setup Menu (e.g., 99% brightness is shown in the illustration). Percentage can vary from 0% (low brightness) to 100% (full brightness). DOWN and UP buttons decrease and increase the brightness, respectively.
Panel Tracking
Panel tracking is a useful communication feature between touchpanels when more than one touchpanel exists on the network. Two buttons centrally located in the bottom row of the Setup Menu control panel tracking. Button selection is indicated by red text. When the Enable Panel Tracking button is selected, a given touchpanel maintains communication in such a way that a page change to any touchpanel on the network forces the same page change to all enabled touchpanels. Panel tracking is disabled for a given touchpanel when the Disable Panel Tracking button is selected. When disabled a given touchpanel does not respond to page changes made to other touchpanels on the network. Panel tracking is factory set with the Disable Panel Tracking button selected.
Ethernet
NOTE: The Ethernet button is displayed on the Setup Menu only if the TPS-ENETL is properly installed.
12 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L Operations Guide - DOC. 5825

NOTE: IP settings are necessary only if the TPS-ENETL is installed. Serially connect a PC to the TPS-6000L via the RS-232 connector and refer to the details in the latest revision of the TPS-ENETL (Doc. 5829).
Selection of the Ethernet button from the Setup Menu displays details such as the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Def(ault) Router, IP Table, etc. For example, refer to a sample display shown after this paragraph. The settings can only be viewed from this screen. To enter commands to access/set all Ethernet configurations use the RS-232 connector and refer to the information in the TPS-ENETL Installation & Operations Guide, as stated in the previous note.
Sample Display from Ethernet Button Press
Return
Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner of the Setup Menu, after setup parameters have been set.
Interface Menu
The touchpanel communicates with a control system to activate other controls or to display feedback from components within the system. The communication interface must be correctly specified or communication will not occur. To set communication parameters select the Interface button located in the upper left corner of the Setup Menu and display the Interface Menu, shown after this paragraph.
Interface Menu
The Cresenet network identity number (CRESNET ID) is displayed at the bottom of the left-most column in the Interface Menu. CRESNET ID is the two-digit hexadecimal number represented by ## in the figure for illustrative purposes. The
Operations Guide - DOC. 5825 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L 13
15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
hexadecimal number can range from 03 to FE and must correspond to the NET ID set in the SIMPL Windows program of the Cresnet system. Matching IDs between touchpanel and SIMPL Windows program is required if data is to be successfully transferred. NET ID is factory set to 03.
Two side-by-side buttons beneath the hexadecimal display, DOWN and UP, decrease and increase the ID by one, respectively.
The touchpanel usually communicates with a Cresnet system. Occasionally the touchpanel can be used in a demo mode where it merely displays various menus, but does not communicate with Cresnet II system. In demo mode, the directory buttons change pages, but buttons requiring feedback do not work. Two side-by-side buttons above the CRESNET ID, Enable CRESNET II and Disable CRESNET II, determine communication mode. Select Enable CRESNET II for normal Cresnet communication mode and Disable CRESNET II to set the touchpanel into demo mode. Text within the selected button changes color from black to red. Communication mode is factory set to Enable CRESNET II.
There may be Ethernet devices on the network that communicate with the control system via CIP (Cresnet Internet Protocol). Two buttons in the top left corner of the Interface Menu determines if the touchpanel is capable of this type of communication. Select Enable CIP to permit this protocol recognition and Disable CIP to prohibit any CIP connection.
The Interface Menu allows for four RS-232 communication options: console (i.e., loading programs), control (i.e., non-Crestron device), mouse input, or external touch screen input. The four buttons in the upper right corner of the menu are available for selection.
Crestron suggests that even if there is no intent to use the RS-232 port, the user should select one of the four RS-232 communication options. Crestron recommends the default, RS-232 Port for Console, if the port is not being used. If the panel is not operating within a Cresnet system, it is possible to use Control or perhaps CIP (Ethernet). Some advanced users may combine Control or CIP with Cresnet. Text within selected buttons change color from black to red.
It is possible to maintain touchpanel control (with the Touch Screen Input button) while communicating via RS-232 with the console or non-Crestron device. Text within the selected button changes color from black to red. The Touch Screen Input button is repeated on the RS-232 Menu for convenience.
Select the Save and Return button, located at the bottom right corner of the Interface Menu, after interface parameters have been set.

RS-232 Menu
For convenience, the RS-232 Menu also displays the four RS-232 communication options and the Touch Screen Input button. These five buttons in the upper right corner of the menu were also available on the Interface Menu. A description of their functionality can be found in the Interface Menu paragraph.
Select the Save and Return button, located at the bottom right corner of the RS-232 Menu, after parameters have been set.
Audio Menu
The Audio button, centrally located on the top row of the Setup Menu, is used to display the Audio Menu, shown after this paragraph. Use this screen to activate sounds (recorded WAV files or line level input from an external source) and audible key clicks on each individual touchpanel. This feature is a useful feedback tool or can enhance a custom interface.
Audio Menu
Volume (for each audio type) is controlled with the up and down arrow buttons in the first row. For example, the WAV File Volume value is shown as a red bar graph and is controlled with the WAV down and WAV up arrow buttons. Line and key click volume is similarly adjusted.
Balance (for each audio type) is controlled with the < and > arrow buttons in the third row. For example, the WAV File Balance value is shown as a red bar graph and is controlled with the WAV < and WAV > arrow buttons. Line balance is similarly adjusted.

audio messages can provide that custom interface with a touchpanel, assuming this feature is enabled. To enable this feature, verify that the WAV On button is active (red text). An active WAV Off button disables the feature. Refer to "Appendix A: WAV File Audio Messages" on page 28 for WAV files.
Line level audio is possible only when enabled and the proper external connections are made. Refer to "I/O Connectors" on page 2 for information about the AUDIO INPUT port. To enable this feature, verify that the Line On button is active (red text). An active Line Off button disables the feature.
Confirmation of a button press on a touchpanel is acknowledged by an audible click assuming this feature is enabled. To enable this feature, verify that the Key Click On button is active (red text). An active Key Click Off button disables the feature.
NOTE: If key click is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel results in an audible click. It may be desirable to conceal the key click sound for certain buttons (e.g., if the button triggers playing of a WAV file). Using VT Pro-e, the panel designer has the option to suppress the key click on a button-by-button basis from the "Button Properties" dialog.
It is possible to enable/disable all audio types (WAV, line, and key click) with the press of a single button. The All Audio On and All Audio Off buttons allow for global muting. Select the All Audio On button to enable audio; select the All Audio Off button to disable audio.
The built-in microphone AGC mode can be controlled with two buttons on the Audio Menu: Mic Audio AGC On and Mic Audio AGC Off.
Select the Default Settings button to restore all Audio Menu buttons and settings to a factory-adjusted preset. Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner of the Audio Menu, after audio parameters have been set.
RGB Menu
NOTE: The RGB button is displayed on the Setup Menu only if the TPS-XVGAL is properly installed. Selection of the RGB button opens the RGB Menu from which the user can adjust RGB settings.
The TPS-6000L can display a computer-generated video format. The type of format must be selected carefully or the video may appear unstable or noisy. Selecting the RGB button, located to the right on the top row of the Setup Menu, displays the RGB Menu, shown after this paragraph.

The characteristics of the input signal are displayed centrally at the bottom of the RGB Menu. For example, in the above illustration, the input signal has a resolution of 1024 x 768 with a frequency of 60.9 KHz (horizontal) and 76.1 Hz (vertical). If the input signal has the same video (plus or minus some noise) as one of the presets, The Detected Preset box shows the value. For the sake of this procedure, Detected Preset 16 is shown as an example. If there is no preset detected, the box shows 0 as the value.
The touchpanel is capable of storing 16 VGA formats; the panel is factory set with the presets empty. To assign a format to a preset, complete the following steps:
1. Select a preset button (numbered 1 through 16). For the sake of this
procedure, select 11.
2. Select the Display RGB button at the top of the RGB Menu to display
the screen after this step.
RGB Controls (Vertical Lines Portray RGB Sample)
3. While viewing the sample of the input signal, use the arrow buttons
around the Center button and then the other arrow buttons to position and compress/expand the sample so that it fills the entire screen.
NOTE: The Center button only needs to be used if the sample disappears from the screen while making adjustments in step 3.
4. While viewing the sample of the input signal, use the Phase Rev and
Phase Fwd buttons to adjust the timing of the sample.
5. If necessary, select the More Controls button to show additional
controls for RGB.
6. In the box beneath the characteristics of the input signal, confirm that
the Selected Preset number matches the one selected in step 1.
If 0 appears, no preset was selected in step 1. To correct, perform the following steps (in sequence): 8, 1, and 2. Then continue with the next step.
7. If visually satisfied with the sample, select the Save Preset button.
Otherwise use the buttons on the screen to make additional adjustments.
8. At any time, the RGB Menu button can be selected to return to the
RGB Menu.

There are two buttons on the RGB Menu that influence the storage of format presets. Use the Erase Selected Preset button to eliminate the stored format for the highlighted preset. The Clear All Presets button eliminates the formats for all presets. The touchpanel prompts the user for confirmation.
NOTE: If no presets are stored or the input does not closely match a stored preset, the panel makes a 'best guess' for image settings.
The user has the option to manually select a preset for the incoming format or have the touchpanel select one automatically. On the rare occasion, the user may want to choose the Manual Select button to force a preset on an incoming format. Otherwise, select the Auto Select button to have the touchpanel automatically search through the preset formats for a match to the input signal.
Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner of the RGB Menu, after RGB parameters have been set.
Video Menu
NOTE: The Video button is displayed on the Setup Menu only if the TPS-VIDL is properly installed. Selection of the Video button opens the Video Menu from which the user can adjust video settings.
The TPS-6000L can display video from up to two different video sources. Both of these signals are automatically set up as NTSC or PAL, composite or S-Video. Selecting the Video button, located to the right on the top row of the Setup Menu, displays the Video Menu, shown after this paragraph.
Video Menu
Use this screen to select one of the video inputs and adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue, if necessary. The user has the option to force the video image to a certain mode (i.e., composite video or S-video) or switch modes automatically after checking the image for colors. Use either the Composite Video or S-Video buttons to manually control the mode. Composite video mode uses a single video signal for luminance and chrominance. S-Video mode uses separate signals for luminance and chrominance, which results in superior resolution and color fidelity. Use the Auto Detect button for automatic control. The number (1 or 2) on the selected button specifies the video input connector. Number 1 corresponds to the twisted pair connector and number 2 corresponds to the BNC connectors. The text color of the selected button is red rather than black.

Fast motion mode (if the Fast Motion button is selected) reduces motion artifacts and should be used for most video sources. Still video mode (if the Still Video button is selected) works best for still pictures. It has a maximum resolution and reduces flicker. However, it suffers from motion artifacts. The text color of the selected button is red rather than black.
Select the Soft button for soft mode video. In this mode, video filtering and noise reduction can produce a better image from some sources. Alternatively, select the Sharp button for sharp mode video. This mode provides maximum detail, but is more susceptible to noise in source. The text color of the selected button is red rather than black.
Use the Display Video button to actually display the video input signal. Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner of the Video Menu, after video parameters have been set.

VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e), a design and programming Windows-based software, permits the creation of control screen variations incorporating two and three-dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each TPS-6000L touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system. The project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC. VT Pro-e also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers rather than for physical touchpanels. For additional software information, consult the VT Pro-e help file.
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique involving the TPS-6000L is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object (i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes). Each multi-mode object has a minimum of one inactive analog join; buttons and legends have a digital join with an active and inactive analog join. There are actually 100 possible modes for each active and inactive analog join. In other Crestron touchpanels, these settings are limited to two visible settings. One setting is the active object's face, frame and text color. The second setting is the inactive object's face, frame and text color.
Multi-mode objects offer power and versatility with simplicity. These three attributes of a multi-mode are definitely intertwined. For example, assume a user wanted a touchpanel page to display an object that changed color and associated graphic/text based on the state of an analog join number controlled by a Crestron control system. This example is analogous to a traffic light that changes colors as well as controlling the text on a walk/don't walk sign. Using single-state objects, the user would have to draw and manage five objects and three digital join numbers: one 3-D border, one animation object, and three transparent buttons with active and inactive text color.
However, using a single multi-mode object, the programmer gets the same result with less effort. All that is needed is one multi-mode button having an inactive state with three modes. Furthermore, if the project needs to be edited, only one "Object Properties" window needs to be accessed. And when it is time to recompile and upload the file to the touchpanel, time is saved as well. VT Pro-e reworks only those parts of the project that have changed since the last compile and upload. Programmers no longer have to wait while each unedited graphic in a graphic­intensive project is recompiled. It is plain to see that multi-modes are a programmer's

dream, come true. For more examples including the one described in this Operations Guide, refer to the MULT-MOD.ZIP file. It is available from the Downloads page (EXAMPLES Library) on the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode objects.
Not every VT-Pro-e object possesses the multi-mode feature. Only those objects that lend themselves to valid applications are capable of multiple modes. These objects include:
Border – Permits multiple indirect text, text position, font, frame, and
color.
Button – Same as a border for inactive states as well as active states,
multiple graphic and graphic positions.
Clock – Permits multiple formats and colors.
Digital Gauge - Permits multiple formats and colors.
Gauge – Same as digital gauge as well as line, bars, and 2-D lines.
Legend – Same as borders for inactive and active states.
Percent – Permits multiple formats.
Slider – Same as gauge.
Time - Permits multiple formats, colors, and styles.
Programming with SIMPL™ Windows
NOTE: VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) is a Windows compatible software package for creating Crestron touchpanel screen designs. Refer to "VisionTools™ Pro-e (Multi-Mode Objects)" on page 19 for additional details regarding VT Pro-e.
SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows® environment.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron Electronics' software for programming Crestron control systems. It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces (i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and monitor a Crestron control system.
The next two subsections describe a sample SIMPL Windows program that utilizes a TPS-6000L touchpanel. The first subsection details how the sample program works with a textual description and block diagram. The second subsection provides a broad description of how to actually create the SIMPL Windows program.
NOTE: The following description assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows. If not, please refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: There is no need to recreate the sample SIMPL Windows program. A similar copy of this program is available from Crestron’s ControlCD (version 6.2 and later). Search for the TPS-6000.SMW project in the SIMPL Windows Example Base.

How the Program Works

A basic TPS-6000L touchpanel SIMPL program is shown after this paragraph in block diagram form. For this example, the TPS-6000L is the user interface in a control system containing a CNMSX-PRO, which has a CNXRY-16 occupying slot
1. Assume that the TPS-6000L is used to control a lighting system via relays in two rooms. Each room can have up to eight scenes of lighting. A scene is engaged by latching a relay. Only one scene can be activated in a room at a time.
Block Diagram of System Incorporating a TPS-6000L
Room 1 uses relays A1 through A8; room 2 uses relays B1 through B8. When the user presses any of the buttons on the TPS-6000L for room 1 (join numbers 1 through 8), the corresponding signal goes high on the input of the Interlock symbol for room 1. The corresponding output of the Interlock latches high. Since the Interlock is mutually exclusive, only that output is high. The corresponding relay then latches high on the CNXRY-16 card.

How to Create the Program

Configuration Manager
NOTE: SIMPL Windows v1.50.05 or later is required to program the control system containing a TPS-6000L touchpanel. If using an earlier version of SIMPL Windows, Crestron recommends a SIMPL Windows and operating system upgrade. The latest version can be obtained from the Downloads page (SIMPLWIN Library) of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com) order to obtain access to the FTP site.

VT Pro-e: Sound Manager

NOTE: If keyclick is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel results in an audible click. It may be desirable to conceal the keyclick sound for certain buttons (e.g., if the button triggers playing of a WAV file). Using VT Pro-e, the panel designer has the option to suppress the keyclick on a button-by-button basis from the “Button Properties” dialog.
Crestron VT Pro-e (version 2.1.0 and later) contains an audio tool, Sound Manager, which permits the panel designer to attach WAV files to a touchpanel project. Sound Manager is available from the Tools pull-down menu and opens the “Sound Manager” dialog, shown after this paragraph.

15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
“Sound Manager” Dialog Box
Sound Manager Guidelines
There are three things to keep in mind when using Sound Manager.
1. Each WAV file must be assigned a unique digital join number. The join
number options include none, keyclick, or a number (1 through 4000). The default is none. If the keyclick option is selected, this WAV file becomes the default keyclick sound for all buttons. The other WAV files can be played by having the SIMPL Windows program assert the assigned join number.
2. Each WAV file must have the correct audio format and attributes for
the TPS-6000L target type selected in VT Pro-e. Refer to "Appendix A: WAV File Audio Messages" on page 28 for acceptable formats.
3. There are three system-wide join numbers that the designer can define.
The first, sound playing from panel, differs from the other two in that it is triggered from the panel.
a. Sound Playing from Panel – The signal for this join number goes high
when the WAV file plays.
b. Mute Sounds – All WAV files (except the keyclick) in the project are
muted when this join number goes high.
c. Mute Key Click – The keyclick sound is muted when this join number
goes high.

Using Sound Manager
Sound Manager is broken into two distinct components. The System Joins component, shown after this paragraph, permits the designer to assign the three system-wide join numbers described in the previous section. Assign the three system joins by scrolling down to the desired number.
System Joins Component
The Sound List component, shown below, permits the designer to attach WAV files to the touchpanel project. Complete the following steps to attach (add) a WAV file.
Sound List Component
1. Use the Browse button to locate the desired WAV files. It should
appear in the browse field adjacent to the Browse button.
2. If necessary, select the Play button to verify that the file in the browse
field is the desired file.
3. Select the Add button to transfer the WAV file to the Sound List table
located below the browse field. The audio parameters of the file also appear to the right of the table.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each desired WAV file.
NOTE: To remove a WAV file from the Sound List table, highlight the file and click on the Remove button.
The Properties button opens the “Sound Properties” dialog box for a highlighted WAV file in the Sound List table. The designer can assign a join number either automatically with the Auto button or by scrolling down to the desired number. Select Description to enter comments about the WAV file.

Appendix B: RS-232 Protocol

TPS-6000L touchpanels support panel operation via a host computer through the RS-232 port. Crestron recommends that the following serial data format is set.
Suggested Serial Data Format
Baud Rate: 38400 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1
These settings may be altered via the RS-232 Menu when configuring the touchpanel, however, doing so may prevent Crestron supplied software from operating with the touchpanel. Low baud rates will cause the panel to appear unresponsive. For example, at 300 baud, a single button press (and release) generates 12 characters and requires more than 0.333 of a second to send. Delays as short as
0.1 of a second are generally considered perceptible and somewhat annoying.
Command Format - Command format for all items sent to or from the touchpanel is very simple. All items are ASCII strings terminated by a <cr>. Line feed characters are ignored, thus <cr><lf> or <lf><cr> are also acceptable line terminators. When the touchpanel sends a line, it is always terminated with <cr><lf>.
For all strings, the first character determines command type. Numeric arguments, if present, are in decimal and separated by commas. No control characters are embedded in the strings to ease processing the strings with high level languages. Be careful when using commas in BASIC, because BASIC uses commas for field separators when reading strings from a file using the INPUT # statement. Since we are dealing with complete lines, use the LINE INPUT # statement to cure this problem.
P<#> and R<#> Commands - When in RUN mode, pressing a button (assuming that it has been joined) generates a six-character code in the format P###<cr><lf>, where ### is a three-character decimal number in the range of 1 through 999, providing for up to 999 functions. When the button is released, a similar code is generated, with an 'R' in place of the 'P'. Given that only one button may be pressed at a time, an 'R' code always follows a 'P' code. A fixed three-digit format is used to simplify software on the host.
Codes may be sent to the touchpanel in the same form as they are received. The 'P' form turns on a function and the 'R' form turns off a function; sending back information received from the touchpanel (i.e., jumping pins 2 and 3 on the RS-232 port) makes the buttons momentary. Notice that the touchpanel responds to P and R commands even when configured for other interface modes. Selecting an RS-232 interface mode merely enables P and R commands to be issued. In addition, the fixed format is not required for commands sent to the touchpanel; P1, P01, and P001 are all perfectly valid commands.
Compared to running on Cresnet, an RS-232 interface to a personal computer is slower, provides less features (such as tracking, among others), is less noise immune (Cresnet uses balanced transmission for high common mode rejection, RS-232 does not), and requires the user to supply the control logic program in the PC.
V<chan>,<level> Command - Levels in gauge and slider objects may be set through the RS-232 port. The command contains both the object channel number (1-
255) and level (0-65535) in decimal separated by a comma. For example, V6,32768 would set channel 6 to level 128, or half way up.
One quick note on baud rate and smooth ramping. Ramping is accomplished by sending successive levels to the object. To do this in 64 levels over three seconds, for example, requires about 576 bytes worth of commands to be sent, and could not be
40 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L Operations Guide - DOC. 5825
Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel
accomplished at any rate less than 2400 baud. Obviously, ramping several objects at once requires a baud rate several times as high.
Indirect Text – TPS-6000L touchpanels support a feature that permits the text field in any user-defined button to be altered on the fly in RUN mode. This is accomplished by substituting a text pointer for the text in the button. The text pointer informs the panel to use the contents of a variable that may be dynamically redefined as the text field for the button. This presents a considerable advantage over other methods in that changing screens does not destroy information and that information may be placed in buttons not currently displayed.
The text pointer is a number in the range of ‘1’ through ‘127’ preceded by the “pound” symbol (#). If [text…] is omitted, the text field is cleared. If [text…] exists, it is added to the text field. For example, consider the following string :
#3Now is the time<cr>
#3for all good men<cr>
#3to come to the<cr>
#3aid of the party.<cr>
Assuming that a button with an #3 text pointer was being displayed, the contents of the button would be changed to:
Now is the time
for all good men
to come to the
aid of the party.
NOTE: To clear the text field for this example, type in “#3<cr>”.
As each line is entered, the display is updated. Since the text may be placed in several different buttons, no boundary checking is done to see if the text fits in the button. If the text overflows the button/boundaries, it remains centered in the button/boundary.
