Introduction
This document will guide you through the process of programming a GP-8 or GP-16 panel using
the GP-16P Configuration Tool software. This primer document is aimed at familiarizing you
with the software’s fundamentals and quickly getting your GP-xx panel up and running using the
point and click Script Wizard. The Script Wizard will automatically generate computer code
based on your Button and Parameter selections. This code can be compiled and downloaded right
to your device from within the configuration tool.
Certain sections of this document use material located in the GP-16P Configuration Tool
software’s extensive Help file.
1.1 - GP-xx Hardware Compatibility
The GP-8 and GP-16 are eight and sixteen button versions of the panel and use an identical
hardware platform. Scripts written for an 8 or 16 button version will run on either one with the
obvious limitations stemming from the surplus or lack of buttons on the two panels.
