Device Extenders
Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll
Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels.
Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on and off line during polling by the control
system. Sleep/Wake Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For
additional information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the
Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included
with SIMPL Windows.
Example Program
An example program for the TPS-4000 is available from the Crestron FTP site
(
4000_SIMPL_Windows_example_(Doc.5863)_TPS-4000L_(Doc. 5783).smw that
contains the example program.
Join Number Remapping
Join Number Remapping (JNR) is a programming concept that allows a TPS Series
Panel to use join numbers with values over 4000 (Join Numbers 4001 to 15999 and
Reserved Join Numbers) by bringing them within the range of the TPS touchpanel
symbol, thereby increasing a touchpanel’s functionality. Through JNR, a TPS Series
Panel’s internal functions become accessible to a control system and can activate the
local functions of other touchpanels, route its internal feedback back to the control
system, and receive feedback from remote locations. JNR provides the additional
capability of managing IP IDs in Ethernet applications where a touchpanel
communicates with multiple control systems that have been uploaded with the same
program. Refer to the latest version of the Join Number Remapping Reference Guide
(Doc. 5969) and the SIMPL Windows help file for more details.
Programming with VisionTools

Pro-e
VT Pro-e, a design and programming Windows
®
-based software, permits the
creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and three-
dimensional graphics and text as well as video and sounds (recorded as WAV files).
A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each TPS-4000
touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control graphics,
two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user
to interface with the control system via join numbers. Unjoined objects are not
