8.5" Black and White Touch Panels
Border styles can be used to program borders on buttons, sliders, and gauges.
Shorthand Send Commands
The shorthand commands operate control equipment just like standard Send_Commands still used
in a wide variety of AMX products. However, shorthand commands are smaller byte-for-byte, and
are processed more efficiently.
The table below lists the shorthand Send_Commands you can use with the LC touch panel. The
shorthand command data is 1-byte, non-ASCII format except for pages, passwords, text, and
bitmap names.

Variable fonts
You must import variable text fonts into a TPDesign3 project file, and download the
project file containing the fonts to the touch panel. The variable fonts are
programming numbers assigned by the touch panel during the download process.
