Software Overview

Designing a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink Panel takes two steps:

Design the layout of the text and graphics

using GUI Configurator

Assign functions to the text and graphics

using Global Configurator

The touchpanel screen is designed using GUI Configurator 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
TLP unit 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 graphic items in
the layout. After assigning the control functions, the project is rebuilt and uploaded to the
IP Link control interface.
These two programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an
A/V system as it grows and evolves.
