Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common operation of a Modero touch panel. Troubleshooting Information Symptom Solution My USB drivers has a yellow exclamation point and doesn’t appear to be working. The USB driver was incorrectly installed and should be re-installed: • Power up the panel without the USB cable connected to the panel. • Plug in the USB cable into the G4 panel.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution My Modero panel isn’t appearing in my Workspace window. • Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Workspace window and the System Connection page on the Modero panel. • Verify you have entered the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods into the Master Connection section of the System Connection page.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution My on-screen mouse cursor doesn’t appear. • The USB connections are not detected until after the particular USB connection plugged into the corresponding port on the panel and power is cycled to the panel. Calibration is not working. • After the Modero touch panel has been updated with a new firmware kit (downloaded to the panel through NetLinx Studio), the calibration could need to be reset.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Information (Cont.) Symptom Solution I have more that one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up. Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices (such as Modero panels) can be associated for use with a single Master. Each Modero panel comes with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple panels, it can become very easy to overlook the need to assign different Device Number values to each panel.
Appendix A Appendix A Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes would be entered into the text field along with any other text.
Appendix A Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, you could limit them to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields.
Appendix A Refer to the following Send Commands for more detailed information: • ^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on page 108). • ^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the ^BMF section on page 110). Input mask ranges These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY.
Appendix A A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement including cursor keys, backspace, and delete. When operating with a mask, the mask should be displayed with placeholders. The "-" character should display where you should enter a character.
Appendix A URL Resources A URL can be broken into several parts. For example: the URL http://www.amx.com/company-infohome.asp. This URL indicates that the protocol in use is http (HyperText Transport Protocol) and that the information resides on a host machine named www.amx.com. The image on that host machine is given an assignment (by the program) name of company-info-home.asp (Active Server Page). The exact meaning of this name on the host machine is both protocol dependent and host dependent.
