Multiple projects on TSW panel #tsw


 

Hi All,

client wants to be able to switch between several interfaces. Not themes, completly different GUIs with different logic.
I think it's not good idea to have all these GUIs in one VTPro project as the progect will become very heavy.
In theory I could add in to the program several touchpanels with own logic and in the touchpanel add several IPIDs. Then I will need to load?desired project.
Does anybody know how to load specific project to TSW using console? I would like to avoid using Toolbox scripts...

?


 

I know you specifically call out using a TSW panel and if you are locked in to that then good luck.

My thought for this application would be to use an Ipad with the CrestronGO app. You simply have all the different projects added in separately and they choose which one they want to use.
Keeps the program side much cleaner and your VT-Pro files all separate.


 

I think this is a bad idea... but if you really want to you can load projects from console by putting the .vtz file in /display/ then run `projectload`


 

If client is set on using the TSW but have 3 different versions. I'm guessing for different users. You could create an Interface setup page that allowed end-user to select theme and interface configuration. In VTP, I would create a page for each Interface version and have subpages to match. Keep labeling consistent so not to be confusing. Have a Main page (1) for the configuration and based on selection will page flip to appropriate page with associated subpages. It will be confusing unless you stay organized in the VTP and Code. Good luck.


 

I have to use TSW panels. If it was iPad it would be much easier(((

And I agree that the whole idea is very strange... But still.?

As I said I don't think it's good idea to have all these GUIs in one VTPro project. Quite often when I have even two VTPro projects open it unexpectedly closes. I assume because custom themes are heavy.


If I put different .vtz files in /display/? can I specify which one to load?


 

Going along with the console projectload at the TSW panel, you might also use the fput command at the processor to push the file to the TSW panel and tell it to load

No, and the vtz is deleted after its loaded.


 

Never heard about fput.

So I can save .vtz into /NVRAM at the processor and then load it onto the touchpanel?

Do you happen to have an example of how to use this command?


 

BruteForceIsUnderRated, I found your previous post with fput command description. It worked for me. Thank you!


 

I have a slight off topic but somewhat related question for you all:
Why does a wired TP has option for multiple IPID masters?
In what cases would you use that?


 

In case you are talking to multiple processors... I've never used it that way.

In regards to multiple processors :
I¡¯ve used this to in a few places. ?Example there is a building wide lighting system and rather than have eisc¡¯s to interconnect the lighting with the AV, I just had the panels connect to both systems. ?You just need to manage the join numbers between them. ?Both systems will respond to the same join, so I¡¯ve done 1-1000 for av and 1001+ For lighting.? ?

If you use this Make sure you have the page logic at the panel. ?That way if one of the two systems is offline the other one still works. ?

Ive used it with multiple processors in a redundancy scenario.?

That's a good one. Thanks.
