Wall Mount 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel Crestron STX-1700CXPW Detail View of the STX-1700CXPW in SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager Signal Types Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source.
Crestron STX-1700CXPW Wall Mount 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel Serial Signals Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly–to control volume or temperature, for instance–the value of the serial signal is used as a pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters.
Wall Mount 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel Crestron STX-1700CXPW Device Extenders Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels. For the STX-1700CXPW in wired mode only, the Poll Manager takes the touchpanel on and off line during polling by the control system. In wireless mode, Sleep/Wake Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel.
