-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for
controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers,
pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers.
Serial Signals
Serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of
characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a
symbol that has a serial output.
The TPMC-10 supports up to 4000 serial inputs and outputs. By default, the input
strings (<text-o1> through <text-o4000>) are "permanent,” meaning that the serial
data will remain in memory for as long as the program is running. The serial data is
removed from memory when the program resets or shuts down. This facilitates serial
strings being updated automatically to the panel when the panel issues an update
request, so that the programmer does not need to add extra logic.
It is important to remember that the strings are NOT stored in NVRAM.
The mandatory <Permanent String Size> parameter at the bottom of the symbol
sets the default size of the input string in bytes (1d = 1 byte). If this parameter is set
to accommodate the longest expected string, too much memory may be allocated for
input strings, limiting the amount of memory available for the program. To minimize
the amount of memory allocated for input strings, set this parameter to the smallest
possible size that will accommodate the majority of strings.
To further manage memory allocation, any given string that is significantly larger or
smaller than the <Permanent String Size> parameter in the program can also be
tied to a Make String Permanent symbol. Here the system will allocate memory for
the string according to the parameter set in the MSP symbol.
If the parameter is set to 0d, or is set higher than its maximum value, 255, the
processor will issue an error when the program initiates.
TPMC-10 Input/Output Signals
The TPMC-10 symbol provides up to 4000 digital joins, analog joins, and serial
joins. The programmer selects the signal types by clicking on the appropriate button
at the top of the Symbol Detail view when programming the panel.
The following tables list functional descriptions for touchpanel outputs and inputs,
organized by touchpanel signal name and type. For convenience, a second set of
tables describes the touchpanel outputs and inputs, organized by VT Pro-e object
type, beginning on page
32.
