  • 1.  Having two instances of a DashBoard grid open breaks a RossTalk GPI or a parameter toggle

    Posted 04-26-2024 22:01

    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:

    Hey James,

    I think that explains it---when I set up my first listener panel, I set it up globally.

    Triggering actions on two panel seems like one is interrupting the other!

    Over the weekend, I thought about adding a toggle to my director's panel that triggers the toggle on my utility panel.

    As long as I don't set it to trigger on load, it seems like it should work.

    Thanks,

    James.
