These are only a few basic examples, and modes can be used to accomplish any combination of these
and more, depending on your job requirements.
Be sure to use one of the exit nodes on the Mode and Navigation elements to connect back to the Start
Device. This will provide the end-user with a button that brings them back to the Start page (FIG. 95).
Connecting UI Elements - Navigation
Navigation elements (in the Touch Panel UI diagram) provide the end user the ability to select a third-
party device to control. Navigation elements are panel pages containing a buttons that represent each
controlled device in the system.
The actual control functions for the devices are on the individual Device elements, accessed via the
buttons on the Navigation elements (FIG. 96).
If your panel is designed for a single-mode system (does not utilize Mode elements), then the
Navigation pages are accessed directly from the Start device element (FIG. 97).
If your panel uses multiple modes, then each Mode would provide access a separate
Navigation element (FIG. 98).
