CUE approach to control system programming is innovative and unique. Rather than having individually disconnected programming files for the control unit and control panels, Cue System programming functions are embedded into the buttons themselves. Additionally, in most small to medium sized programming projects system functions can be dragged and dropped on the buttons using the simple but powerful configuration software called Cue Director XPL. Even those with no prior control system programming experience can learn to configure the Cue System in a matter of hours. CUE also dramatically reduces development time with a totally unique feature: Every touch panel or button panel can be simulated in the PC design environment while actually controlling the system. Cue Director XPL tests the touch panel files as they are created. Downloading to the touch panel hardware is not required, in fact, in the development stage you do not even need a touch or control panel. All panels may be simulated with all aspects of system control including feedback and panel scripting working exactly as they would in the hardware while actually controlling the system. System Director software opens system control ports, locates the AV device in the equipment database, and creates sequences of commands executed by a controller. This software creates and manages links among control buttons and sequences. Additionally this software enables quick and easy way to add IR codes and serial commands as well as to add newly captured IR codes using ipCUE built-in functionality. Design Director software allows the creation of screens for control panels. It uses objects such as page, window, button, label, bargraph etc. This software also supports work with predefined layouts.
