Using Global Configurator

The Configuration Software

Designing a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink Panel takes 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 Panel 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 controller.
These two programs provide versatility and adaptability for configuration and control of an
A/V system as it grows and evolves.

Installing the Software

GUI Configurator and Global Configurator Installation

NOTE: You must use Global Configurator 3.0.4 or a later version and

GUI Configurator 1.1 or a later version to configure the TLP 350MV.

does not start automatically, run Launch.exe from the DVD-ROM directory in Windows

My Computer. Select the Software tab, locate the GUI Configurator program and click

Install. Follow the on-screen instructions.
By default, the Installer program creates and places the GUI Configurator program in the
