Serial Input Signal Descriptions
INPUT DESCRIPTION
text-o1 through text-o255 Notifies panel of text string (1 – 255). 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-1700CXP 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.

The STX-1700CXP has ten “quick” pushbuttons, five on each side of the LCD
display. You can use these buttons to access any frequently used commands. Each
button has a permanently fixed digital join number; refer to the illustration shown to
the left. The sequence of digital join numbers is (top to bottom) 1 through 5 on the
left side and 6 through 10 on the right side.
NOTE: A user may not want the LCD display to come on after a pushbutton is
pressed when the unit is off. The Startup Preference option allows the user to select
whether the touchpanel’s display comes on or stays off after a pushbutton is pressed.
For more information, refer to “Startup Preference” on page 11.
NOTE: To use a quick pushbutton to flip a page (change a screen) on the STX-
1700CXP, you would assign the desired button’s digital join number to the page
(Crestron recommends this method) and enable the corresponding feedback from the
control system. Using button 10 as an example, in VT Pro-e you would assign digital
join number 10 to a page using page properties. In the SIMPL Windows’
Programming Manager view, you would connect the signal at press 10 (output) to
the fb10 (input) of the STX-1700CXP symbol.
NOTE: Assuming that the touchpanel is powered down, pressing a “quick”
pushbutton once “wakes up” the touchpanel but no command is sent. A second
button press sends the command. However, if the touchpanel is actually in standby
mode, the panel is “awake” and the initial button press sends the command.
Programming with VT Pro-e
Control screen variations incorporating two- and three-dimensional graphics and text
are possible and can be created with VT Pro-e, a design and programming
Windows
 -based software program. A set of pages, which make up a project, can be
designed for each application. Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal,
color-oriented control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and
three-dimensional buttons, and floor plans. The project is uploaded to the
touchpanel’s flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded
from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control processor except when
uploading a project.
