As a user, I also would strongly recommend Nathan's C5 Debugger. I now thankfully almost never use TBx Debugger any more... Worth Every Penny!!!? (And no, Nathan doesn't pay me!...:)? ?)

Re: Disappearing icons and text
I've seen something similar. It has happened when changing a large amount of visibility joins at once. In my instance, I needed to add code to space it out so I sent 10 joins, paused, sent another 10, paused, etc. This seemed to keep the panel happy.?
In my instance, I could trigger the visibility joins in debugger and make them appear. If they weren't already individual joins I would have had to change it so I could control the staggering of the signals.
Even though I could reproduce the issue with my system, Crestron said they couldn't even with my step by step instructions. I think it may have been more of a case that they weren't going to waste time on SG that is going away... but that's just my?opinion.
Has anyone experienced buttons (icons and indirect text) disappearing from touch panels, even though the signals are still high in debugger and they still appear on the XPanel version of the exact same project and program? Rebooting the panel brings them back, but only temporarily. The rate at which they disappear seems random. This has happened on both TSW-760 and TS-770 panels. I am using the dynamic horizontal list in VTPro and the "use visible items" and "use indirect text" options to drive them from SIMPL.

Re: Disappearing icons and text
Not exactly, but if you've ruled out actually programming issues, it's probably time to initialize the touch panel and send a freshly compiled project.

How do you approach sending of CEC commands to TVs?
I'm interested to find out how you all approach sending CEC commands to TVs to do simple things like power on, power off and source changes.?
?
In my experience with Sony and Sharp TVs, sometimes they accept a power on command and obey, but sometimes they don't.?
Typically the command is part of a stepper and gets a timing of 0.1s.
?
In all instances I'm using a DMPS with DM-RMCs. Some DM-RMCs are controlled via network if they're run through a DM-DA, or direct DM cable connection from DMPS to DM-RMC.
?
Do you fire commands multiple times to make sure one goes through? Or any other ideas? Thanks!

Re: Tips for debugging startup welcome
Caleb and Dizzy, I will give that a try.

Thorsten, I've tried not reloading but it seems more often than not, Debugger chokes or hangs up or something and I lose the trace.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Re: Tips for debugging startup welcome
Just open debugger, and whilst connected go to options at top and select reset program. That should then log everything that is happening, unless something is borked in the program.

Re: Tips for debugging startup welcome
Actually, it should work right away if you don?t do a ¡°reload program¡±. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? Does anyone have any tips for using Debugger during startup? I have some analogs that are getting updated during startup and I'm trying to figure out where/when. With my current approach, I have text console and debugger (console secondary) open and connected. I'm sending a progreset command in console, waiting for the "running initial solution" message, then jumping over to Debugger and choosing the "Reload Program" option. Someone please tell me there's a better way. Is there a way to restart a program slot and have debugger keep going? Is there some other magic trick I could try. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Tips for debugging startup welcome
In that same context menu where you are selecting Reload, select ¡°Reset Program¡± and that will restart the program for you, and debugger will track.

Re: SNMP metrics for Pro3 processors
They would NEVER do that.

Re: Q: How to: Construct - open a touchpanel project as an XPanel
If you are using contracts in your program then you need to open up your Simpl and resync the contracts- even if you do something simple as change a button label in Construct. Which I think is crazy- never had to do that the ol VTPro method.?

Hi,
Anyone still has a copy of Smartgraphics SDK?
Or know where to find it?
Thanks

Wired, for wireless the Bosch CCS 1000 module will work.

Re: Q: How to: Construct - open a touchpanel project as an XPanel
TB still claiming timeout when loading. However,
I killed Edge.
Restart Edge
Reload the UI web XPanel and this time I'm asked to sign in. Didn't have to sign in before.
Once signed in - UI is operational
Sigh!

Re: Q: How to: Construct - open a touchpanel project as an XPanel
Grrr,
So been working on some simpl code.
Made a minor change to the Construct UI - one join number changed.
Attempting to re-upload to my CP3 - now getting timeouts. WTF

Re: Q: How to: Construct - open a touchpanel project as an XPanel
Figured it out.
OK for those of you that will need to do this:
?
In Construct:
* Select the hamburger menu On the main project in Solution Explorer
* Project Properties
* Set the Web XPanel IP ID & Save
* Clean & Build Solution
?
In Toolbox:
* Connect to processor
* Web Pages & Mobility Projects - Select Archived File in Project Format
* Project File - Select your ch5z file
* Project Management - Load Project As: CH5 XPanel
* Send the project
?
In Browser:
* https://processor ip address/construct ch5z project name/index.html?ipId=0x03
?
Notes:
* I had to enter the IP ID as hex to get mine to work
* Make sure the construct ch5z project name matches exactly what has been loaded in Toolbox
?
Hope this helps others as wading through Crestron documentation is pretty grim now

Q: How to: Construct - open a touchpanel project as an XPanel
I've built a project in Construct as a TST-1080.
I don't have a physical panel to test it with. How can I launch the panel like I would do with an SG XPanel?
Looking through the online CTI videos on YT - no clues there.
Thanks
