Operation
Introduction
This section of the Newton Modular Control System is designed to explain
operation of the rack mount and software panels once they have been con-
figured. Configuration of channels, setups, and knob assignments is done
using the Newton Panel Configurator in the NetConfig PC application. Soft
key setup assignments can be done during the configuration process with
the Newton Panel Configurator or from the panel itself as described in this
section.
Refer to Section 3-Configuration for compete details on how to configure a
Newton panel. This operation section will reference the same configuration
examples set up in Section 3.
Overview
Operation of the rack mount and software panels is similar. This operation
section covers both panel types and will point out the differences when
required.
Each Newton panel has four knobs and several buttons that form a control
surface. A configuration consists of channels containing setups. For each
defined setup, up to four knob assignments can be made which can control
a switch or parameter on a module. Setups can control any module that is
present on the network. Configuration of knob assignments can only be
done using the Newton Panel Configurator in the NetConfig application.
Newton panels allow you to navigate between channels and setups with
arrow buttons or using the configured soft keys on the panel.
To open the Newton software panel application, double-click on the
shortcut to the NewtonPC icon.
If no configuration has been downloaded to the software panel, the display
will report
Setup not configured. You will need to download a con-
figuration from the Newton Panel Configurator.
