[. . . ] 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. ) Analog Signals 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-1700C 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 the signal types by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the Symbol Detail view when programming the panel. 16 · 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel: STX-1700C Operations Guide - DOC. 6226A Crestron STX-1700C 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel 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). Any value from 0 through 65535 Analog Input Signal Descriptions INPUT an_fb 1 through an_fb 256 Serial Input Signal Descriptions DESCRIPTION Notifies panel of analog feedback (1 ­ 256). INPUT text-o1 through text-o127 DESCRIPTION Notifies panel of text string (1 ­ 127). Also called indirect text. Device Extenders Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels. For the STX-1700C in wired mode only, the Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on and off line during polling by the control system. In wireless mode, Sleep/Wake Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For additional information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included with SIMPL Windows. Modifying a SIMPL Windows Project for Roaming To implement roaming in a system that originally had two STX-1700Cs and one gateway, you would need to add a STRFGWX RF gateway to your SIMPL Windows project and add two STX-1700Cs under the new gateway in System Views. For simplicity, in this example we assigned the original gateway a Cresnet ID of 03 and the original touchpanels RF IDs of 01 and 02. To extend the range, we will assign the new gateway a Cresnet ID of 04 and add two new touchpanel symbols in the system. These touchpanels will have the same RF IDs (01 and 02) as the original touchpanels mentioned above.
