Trying to get a better grasp on cross points by testing on my home system (fyi, wife is annoyed).
I have my equipment connection routing going into a Serial/ Analog One Shot that has disconnect running running on the out and connect on the out*.
Somehow when I connect to Equipment crosspoint 101d, and press join 45 on Control crosspoint 1d, I see the signal come out Equipment cross point 100d (was connected to) AND 101d. If I reboot the processor it will only come out the first I connect to, but it never seems to loose connection when I try to move to a different piece of gear.
How is this possible, and what am I missing. Quickly my wife is looking for the granite rolling pin.
Thanks Tim F

If you are using Disconnect only, it only Disconnects the numbers it the equipment/controller values. For EX: E:100 C:1 Disconnect Connect Disconnects E100 and C1 Then connects E100 and C1
If you use DiscFromC it will disconnect all the equipment from the selected controller. This should give you the result you are looking for.
For Ex: E:101 C:1 DiscFromC Connect Disconnect all Equipment from C1 Then connect E101 and C1

Thanks, I was doing Disc EC.? I figured it would reset everything before reconnecting.? 1, to 101.? ________________________________ From: Witmarquzot <tdurrant420@...> To: Crestron@...

Your welcome.
I think almost everyone in the group has gone through that problem(or similar). Also, the InUse signal does not always stay high, it has a tendency to go low for a couple of waves(at least in my experience) when connecting a new controller to an equipment cross point. I use a ROS and an AND to make sure that it stays high until the inuse has gone low for X seconds.
I doubt you will need this info, but stay away from DiscAll. It will reek nothing but havoc on a system. Good if you want to break the system, but I have yet to find a good use for it.

I was about to call hogwash on that, but as it turns out, my disconnect_all actually connects to DiscFromC. I find that one very handy, and probably the one he wants. I find that much easier than trying to remember which device was connected previously.

The real lesson to be learned here is: Don't learn crosspoints on anything that your wife might be using! Better yet, don't develop anything on it. ;-) (I always do changes on a secondary room and when I'm convinced that the new stuff won't get me an angry wife-call in the middle of the work day, I'll load it to the other rooms. Been there.) On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 7:46 PM, timfauser <tsfauser@...> wrote: **

That's why a lot of use multiple crosspoint connect symbols, normally one for each touch panel, that way you just leave the panel connect and change equipment. Although, disconnect all disconnects EVERY symbol, just not the one you pulse it on. Thus the warning, I believe.

You could always teach the wife to fix it :)
Very early in my relationship with my girlfriend she learned what SIMPLWindows was and basic digital logic (she wanted to know what I did all day so...)
She no longer thinks my house hates her (though she still thinks it's semi-sentient) and has never actually used SIMPL Windows but if there was a bug that annoyed her enough I'm sure it would get fixed.
SIMPL+ is still off in the horizon but...
(She studied Art History and Art Conservation and works for a museum so it's not like she has a programming background... but she's damn smart)

Exactly, that's how I use them. I also use what I call parallel crosspoints where one set is for rooms, another for equipment, another for HVAC and another for Lighting. It's a little more complicated, but for me it's easier to make my programming a little more Alt-F1 friendly. So I end up having a lot of connect symbols in a program and I just init the control ID's for each and only change the equipment IDs.

That's funny. I've been training my gf as well. She knows the difference between simpl windows and vt pro she doesn't get the logic yet but she understands symbols and cross points. She heard me cussing cross points a few times and wanted to know what was pissing me off lol.
She knows cars really well so typically if I can come up with a car scenario using the logic she understands it. Go figure.

I'll bite: The crosspoint is like the heater knob on the dash. It routes the air to the defroster, the dash vents, or the floor. Sometimes to pairs of those, but never to all three.
