Device Connections
Each device must be connected to the NetLinx Central Controller, either directly or via an intermediate
Networking or Expansion device, as indicated by the connection lines.
Refer to the
Connecting Devices
section on page 61 for details.
UI Tabs
There are two types of User-Interface (UI) tabs displayed in the Diagram Area, depending on the type of
UI devices present in the System diagram:
Touch Panel UI tabs
- For every Touch Panel in the System diagram, there is a separate
Touch Panel UI tab with a Touch Panel UI diagram for that panel.
Keypad UI tabs
- For every Keypad in the System diagram, there is a separate Keypad UI tab
with a Keypad diagram for that keypad.
The UI tabs provide a graphical representation of how the user will navigate the UI to access devices in
the system.
Touch Panel UI Diagram
For every Touch Panel added to the system, a separate Touch Panel UI tab is added to the Diagram Area.
Each Touch Panel UI tab consists of a Touch Panel UI Diagram - the graphic representation of the
elements in the touch panel GUI, and their navigation layout (FIG. 7).
This is where you can add and connect UI Elements to establish a flow from one area of the UI
to another.
The selected element’s properties are displayed in the Properties window.
Refer to the
Defining Touch Panel Navigation
section on page 101 for details.
Right-click anywhere within the System diagram to access the System Diagram
context menu.
