Is there any way to read/get a touch panel's current page and active pop-up pages?
There is no command to get the current pages but AMX panels (including 2-way Viewpoints) can be made to send the page information when the pages are flipped. This is done with the 'TPAGEON' command. The code can then be added to the system to track the page flips and know where the panel is.
- If this is a NetLinx system this code will turn on page tracking for the panel dvTP:
DEFINE_EVENT
DATA_EVENT[dvTP]
{
ONLINE:
{
WAIT 20
{
SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'TPAGEON'
}
}
}
- If you have an Axcess system use this code:
DEFINE_START
WAIT 20 { SEND_COMMAND dvTP,'TPAGEON' }
Tracking the pop-up page flips correctly will require intimate knowledge of how the pop-up pages and groups are setup in the TPD file.
