Facility Control

I have a DashBoard panel with an editable list of custom control recalls and bus assignments to build split boxes and feed monitor arrays on two MEs and a MiniME on our Carbonite Black, plus hot buttons for various pieces of art, clearing Xpression channels, etc.

I have just added a button (fired by RossTalk GPI from the Carbonite) that will change the background of my split boxes, cut to air, and play one of two animations depending on a toggle button parameter.

If I have two versions of the DashBoard panel open---one for this show, one for the next show---the button no longer works.

Is having two references to the parameter the conflict? or is it the two buttons with the same trigger ID?

I can disable each of the tasks in the button with a toggle parameter (offline vs live,) but I can't think of a way to make parameter not be a parameter.

I have the option to move the button to another panel, but it contains actions I drive from Carbonite that I would rather not be exposed .

Does anybody see a solution?

Thanks,

James.

Hi James

There is no inherent conflict but it depends on how you have the panel set-up and some of your DashBoard preferences.  There are 2 ways to attach triggers to a DashBoard Panel: the global RossTalk listener and the "Internal RossTalk GPI Listener".  

If you are using the "Internal RossTalk GPI Listener" only one panel at a time can bind to the selected port - so if you have 2 panels open, only the first one opened will receive the RossTalk Messages.  This is what it looks like when your panel is configured this way:

The other way is to use the "Global" listener in your DashBoard Preferences.  In this case, the GPI message will trigger all open panels:
