NOTE:
Additional touchpanel functions with reserved join numbers can also be
accessed in VT Pro-e or by using Join Number Remapping in a SIMPL Windows
program. A listing of available reserved join functions are available when assigning a
Digital Press Join in a
Button

window in VT Pro-e or when using Join
Number Remapping in SIMPL Windows. For additional information on VT Pro-e,
refer to the help file provided with the software. For additional information on Join
Number Remapping, refer to “Join Number Remapping” on page 28.
MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of 8 bits to represent a character, e.g. English,
French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual 8 bits to specify a character.
This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
8
) in a font. For
example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate issues with multibyte characters - static text on buttons and
indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in either
case.
Static text on a button, entered in the standard way in VT Pro-e, always works under
Windows 98. Under Windows XP, you must use VT Pro-e 3.0 or later.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed
is entered in SIMPL Windows. You must use VT Pro-e 3.0 or later to guarantee that
the full set of characters in the font is stored on the touchpanel. You must use SIMPL
Windows 2.03.11 or later to enter Chinese characters directly. As of this publication
date, only completely single byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or
they will not be compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot
enter Chinese character interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters
or numbers in separate strings. Crestron is scheduling time to fix this in the near
future and the release notes for SIMPL Windows will mention it.
For now, the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the string can be used,
but it is not dynamic.
Uploading and Upgrading
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects to the system and
touchpanel after their development. However, there are times when the files for the
program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be
distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even
