pcCUE-professional enables to use any Windows PC or Tablet as a Cue System control
panel and controller. It is a suitable addition to CUE control panels and controllers or it can be used as a
standalone application. The pcCUE-professional has the same functionality as pcCUE-standard plus any IP operated device can be controlled directly without a need of control unit, because complete set of XPL2 IP commands can be used.

Both pcCUEs run in standard zoomable window or they can run in full screen mode. GUI application has to be designed using standard programming tool - Cue Visual Composer, where effective application preparing is achieved by visual programming approach with drag and drop, advanced editing technique IntelliSense, export and import of ready to use pieces of program and more.
Communication between the control panel device, control system and controlled devices is based on Ethernet or Wi-Fi communication.

8. Check rest of units including in the project as described below and use button Upload. Rest of the system will be uploaded.
Important note
Export and upload in one step (is equal the same opening of Upload and Export dialog box) is very important. If you don’t export *.cvca le and upload rest of the system at the same time, *.cvca le has different build identication against rest of the system and parts of the application doesn’t communicate.

troublesHootIng

Error Message „Another pcCUE is already running“ Appears.
If another pcCUE is running on the same PC, following message appears.
Only one instance of pcCUE can run at one time. Close pcCUE which is already running and start pcCUE
again.
Note: the pcCUE can run on the same PC under different user prole. Check the pcCUE in conict wether it doesn’t run in different user prole.
pcCUE
pcCUE doesn‘t Communicate
If pcCUE doesn’t communicate with the rest of control system
1. Double check, if pcCUE application was exported during the same nal build as download of the system.
2. Check if Cue Visual Composer isn’t running on the background.
For more details see chapter How to Create Application.
pcCUE doesn‘t Communicate after Switching User
If you switch user without logoff of previous user (Fast User Switching) and pcCUE in new user prole doesn’t communicate with the rest of control system, it is necessary to stop pcCUE in other user proles, because only one instance of the pcCUE can run on the PC at the same time. In this case we recommend to disable fast user switching possibility on your PC. Then every switching of the user will logoff previous
user and stops all running applications incl. pcCUE.
