Newton Control Panels
The Newton system features two control panels: a rack-mounted version
and a software-based PC version. The NewtonPC software panel applica-
tion has similar functionality as the rack mount panel, making operation
easier to learn. Any combination and number of panels can be used in a net-
work; there is no limit to the number of panels that can be installed on the
network. Panel operation is independent of configuration and an
Enable
button is provided for locking out the panels to prevent accidental changes.
Overall control panel features include:
• Four user-configurable control knobs, with tri-color connection status
indicator LEDs, for changing device parameters,
• Twelve soft keys for quick recall of user-configurable parameters,
• Simple up/down, left/right navigation controls,
• Each panel supports up to 128 channels with 12 setups each (number of
channels allowed varies according to setup complexity),
• Clearly visible status of controlled devices,
• Enable button locally disconnects knobs and buttons from devices, and
• Identify button reveals identity of controls and configurations.
Newton Rack Mount Control Panel
The Newton rack mount control panel, NewtonRM, ( Figure 1 ) is a com-
pact, 1 RU Rack Mount panel.
Additional features of the rack mount control panel include:
• Easy to read green display with adjustable intensity,
• Combination of soft buttons and dedicated function buttons with
adjustable backlighting intensity, and
• Two simple connections required for installation, RJ-45 Ethernet and
IEC Mains.
