Using TPDesign3 to Download Design XPress 1.1 - Generated Panel Pages

You can use either TPDesign3 or NetLinx Studio to download Design XPress 1.1 - generated touch 

panel files to the panels. If you are using TPDesign3, verify that all 

Color Optimization

 options 

are turned 

off

. There are no optimization issues when downloading via NetLinx Studio.

There are two places in TPDesign3 where bitmap optimization can be selected: The 

Bitmap 

Manager

, and the 

Download to Panel

 dialogs.

1.

In the 

Bitmap Manager

 dialog (

Panel > Bitmap Manager

), make sure that you do not click 

the 

Optimize

 button at any time that the project is open. If by mistake you optimize the 

bitmaps in your project, you must close the TPD project without saving any changes, and re-

open.

2.

In the 

Download to Panel 

dialog (

Comm Settings

 tab), verify that 

Optimize Bitmap Colors

 is 

not selected. This dialog is accessible via the 

File

 menu.
