Using TakeNote

The TakeNote application represents an additional interactive layer placed above an active G4 Computer

Control (G4CC) button on your panel. TakeNote should be considered to be a counterpart application to

G4CC.

In order to use TakeNote, it must first be set up and configured according to the steps described in the

following sections:

Step 1: Updating AMX Hardware and Software

Transfer the most current product firmware to your Touch Panels and NetLinx Masters. Visit www.amx.com

for the latest firmware files.

1. Connect the PC to an Ethernet Network that can communicate with the NetLinx Control System.

2. Update all AMX hardware (G4 compatible devices and NetLinx Masters) with the latest firmware files.

3. Use WebUpdate to update the applications if necessary. Alternatively, you could navigate to

www.amx.com and download the latest versions of the programs.

Step 2: Developing a TPD4 project with G4CC and TakeNote Support

Develop and upload a TPD4 panel project with at least some basic TakeNote function buttons.

1. Launch TPD4 and open an existing project, or create a new one. If you already have a TPD4 project that

utilizes G4CC, then open the Computer Control page in that project and skip to step 5.

2. Draw a button that covers most or all of the panel page.

3. In the General tab of the Properties Control Window, set the button’s Type to Computer Control.

4. Enter the IP Address of the target PC in the Remote Host field. To determine the IP Address of your PC:

a. Click Start > Run to open the Run dialog.

b. Enter cmd into the Open field and click OK to open the command DOS prompt.

c. From the C:\> command line, enter ipconfig to display the IP address of the PC. This information is

then entered into the Remote Host field.

5. Toggle the Scale To Fit and TakeNote Enabled fields to yes.

6. In the Programming tab of the Properties Window, verify that the Address Port field = 1.

7. Double-click within the Address Code field and enter a value specific to the G4CC functionality within

this TPD4 project (example: 123).

8. Create TakeNote functionality buttons (such as Toggle/Annotation, Clear Screen, Undo, and Color) as

needed:

a. Draw a General-type button on top of the new Computer Control button.

b. In the States tab of the Properties Window, change the fill in color and label the button Annotation.

When complete, navigate to the Programming tab.

c. In the Channel Port field, select 0-setup port.

d. In the Channel Code field, select Advanced Codes > TakeNote > Toggle/Activate Annotation.

Repeat these steps to add more TakeNote function buttons to the project as needed.

9. Select Transfer > Connect > New to connect the PC to the Master that is communicating to the target

panel.

a. Enter a Name for the connection and specify the IP address of the Master in the Connection Settings

dialog. Click OK to create the new connection type and return to the Connect dialog.

b. Click Connect to establish the connection to the Master.

10. Select Transfer > Send to Panel to locate your specific panel.

Disk space usage is dependant on the number and size of the annotations stored on

the hard drive (by default, they are stored on the USB unless the directory location is

changed.
