Where “GrpX” represents Grp group 1 through 10.
NOTE:
Grp group soft key presses will continuously send signal pulses as long as a
button is held.
Each soft key can be labeled in VT Pro-e to provide a descriptive name to the
assigned function.
Example Program
An example program for the ML-500 is available from the Crestron FTP site
(
ftp://ftp.crestron.com/Examples/
). Search for the file named ML-500.ZIP that
contains the example program, associated files and a README.TXT file that
describes the program.
Programming with VT Pro-e
The RF ID for communicating with the RF receiver, Grp group names, and labels for
all of the soft keys are stored on the ML-500 using VT Pro-e. VT Pro-e can also be
used to program page jumps for FAV soft key presses.
NOTE
: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
ML-500:
.vtp
projectname
.vtp (VT Pro-e source file)
.hex
projectname
.hex (compiled file)
After creating an ML-500 project in VT Pro-e, double-click
Design Pages
(as shown
in the following diagram to open the “Design Pages & Text” window.
Double-Click Design Pages
NOTE
: ML-500 projects have a defined page-subpage structure and cannot be
converted into VT Pro-e projects for other devices. Similarly, VT Pro-e projects for
other devices cannot be converted to an ML-500 project.
The “Design Pages & Text” window, shown in the following diagram, is used to set
the RF ID of the ML-500, create Grp groups, create pages within a Grp group, and to
create labels for programmed soft keys.
