The Configuration Software

Create a graphical user interface (GUI) for the TouchLink panel 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 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
AV system as it grows and evolves.
