Touch Activity, Screen Saver or Sleep/Wake Manager


 

Is it possible to get feedback on the sleep/wake state of the panel, force Touch Activity_fb high or know if the screensaver is running?
This is an old "issue" for me, but when I use the Touch Activity_Fb to lock a panel it gets out of sync if I use the same IPID with another panel.
For example, when you do a local run as panel with the same ID for testing or troubleshooting.
?
I was hoping I could either force activity in the panel or get feedback from the panel but I haven't found a way to do either.
?
Thank you.


 

In the office we joke about the kind of Stackoverflow answers that don¡¯t actually answer the question but instead just ask ¡°why would you do that?¡±
?
I don¡¯t want to be ¡°one of those¡±, and I do understand the convenience of being able to double up on IPIDs for testing, but I think the real answer here is - don¡¯t do that. ?Even though it may work (not always though!), it¡¯s always come with some side effects, and I think you¡¯re simply seeing that - how could the processor keep a single panel definition¡¯s activity feedback in sync with two or more connections?
?
Perhaps a different approach would be to create a testing panel with a complete copy of the physical panel¡¯s logic to keep them isolated or - if you really want to track the physical panel - create a separate IPID/panel and duplicate all of the signals except for the problematic ones (e.g. activity). ?Panel joins are not ¡°exclusive¡± - they can be jammed/driven by two sources.
?
Might that resolve the sync issue?
?
But - personally - we never double up on IPIDs - we just have a ¡°test¡± panel definition.
?
All the best,
