[. . . ] For any given signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there will be an analog signal. In SIMPL Windows, the signal types are color-coded as follows: Digital = Blue Analog = Red Serial = Black Other = Green NOTE: "Other" signals are a combination of the three basic types (e. g. many symbols accept either analog or serial signals where the combination is shown as a green signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is highlighted. For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide. It may be downloaded from the Crestron website. Digital Signals A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low, recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive. ) Operations Guide - DOC. 6228A Wall Mount 2-Way RF Compact Color Touchpanel: STX-1700CW · 19 Wall Mount 2-Way RF Compact Color Touchpanel Analog Signals Crestron STX-1700CW Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values ranging from 0 to 65535 (216-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers, pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers. Serial Signals Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly­to control volume or temperature, for instance­the value of the serial signal is used as a pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters. When a serial signal is routed to a symbol, that symbol can identify the signal as serial rather than analog and it will automatically look at the data to which it points. Thus, serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a symbol that has a serial output. STX-1700CW Input/Output Signals The STX-1700C symbol provides up to 999 digital joins, up to 256 analog joins, and up to 127 serial input joins. The programmer selects signal types by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the Symbol Detail view when programming the panel. The tables below list functional descriptions for the touchpanel digital outputs and inputs. Digital Output Signal Descriptions OUTPUT press 1 through press 999 DESCRIPTION Notifies control system of button press (1 ­ 999). High/1 = press On Low/0 = press Off Digital Input Signal Descriptions INPUT fb 1 through fb 999 Analog Output Signal Descriptions DESCRIPTION Notifies panel of button press (1 ­ 999). OUTPUT an_act 1 through an_act 256 DESCRIPTION Notifies control system of an analog action (1 ­ 256).
