CNX-DVP4
Assigning Mouse Packets to Serial Ports in SIMPL Windows
NOTE:
the "To_Anywhere" can be to a serial port on the PRO2 or CNX-DVP4, a
Cresnet device, an Ethernet device, etc.
Advanced users should also note that routing a signal from the Slot 1 TPS serial joins
to the COM ports on the CNX-DVP4 appears to ensure that the signal stays internal
to the CNX-DVP4, but it does not. Because there is no program in the CNX-DVP4
when it is a slave, the signal must be sent to the PRO2 for interpretation and then re-
routed back out to the CNX-DVP4. If this kind of traffic is not desirable, then the
PRO2 should contain a program and the CNX-DVP4 should be used as a master
(standalone control system) with its own program, and the programs should send any
shared data via Ethernet ISC or XSIG. Then the signal stays within the CNX-DVP4.
The "To anywhere" has to go through an XSIG, if it leaves the CNX-DVP4.
The advantages of this approach include simplicity, containment of all data within
the program and VT Pro-e project, very limited development time, and flexibility.
New Helper Symbols
Two new device extenders are used on Slot 1 of the CNX-DVP4 for Mouse input
and output control. After dropping in a CNX-DVP4 in SIMPL Windows, select
