  • 1.  Off-line Custom Control editor?

    Posted 09-03-2021 08:54
    Curious if there is an off-line Custom Control editor or suggested workflow for modifying and re-saving Carbonite CC's when not able to work at the switcher panel?

    Hi Matt,

    There is no Offline editor or way to build without having a connection to the Frame.  You would need to be able to at least connect a DashBoard Instance to the Frame and then you would be able to edit custom controls.

    Les, thank you for the quick response!  That being the case, is there a emulator or virtual frame available for either the Carbonite or Acuity?

    There is a way to make the Acuity Softpanel "sort of run" in a sim mode.

    You can download the OVA file and run it in Virtual Box.  I can then walk you through how to enable sim mode for it...  Again you are not really able to use this to "build offline" and then move the files over.

    https://www.rossvideo.com/software/acuity/SoftPanel_Installer-9.2b_virtualbox.zip

    That is the direct link to the Virtual box that is with the Acuity downloads section.

    Once you have it up and running reach out and I will walk you through the steps to turn on the simulator...  You can then use a web browser to point to the Virtual Panel..

    Les, that's great!  File has been downloaded and unzipped -- is assistance good here, or would a phone call be better?
