The Configuration Software
Create a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink touchpanel in two steps:
1. Design the layout of the text and graphics using GUI Configurator .
2. Assign functions to the text and graphics using Global Configurator .
The GUI Configurator software is a Windows-based application. The interface is designed
either by customizing an existing template or by designing an entirely new interface. GUI
Configurator offers several templates that are designed to manage control system devices.
After the GUI has been designed on a PC, the project is saved, built, and uploaded to the
TouchLink touchpanel to verify what it looks like on the screen. It is then imported from the
TLP unit to Global Configurator where control functions are assigned to the text and graphics
in the layout. After assigning the control functions, the project is rebuilt and uploaded to the
controller.
These two programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an AV
system as it grows and evolves.
