Configuring Virtual Touchscreen

A Virtual Touchscreen is a stand-alone client application that allows all of the functionality of a Paradigm Touchscreen from any PC connected to the Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS) network. Virtual Touchscreen functionality is only possible when working within a Server Project.

Paradigm Virtual Touchscreen configurations are created in ControlDesigner, exactly like other Paradigm Touchscreen configurations, and assigned functionality in LightDesigner, like other control stations.

Adding A Virtual Touchscreen

When running a Server Project, right-click on the "Stations" node within the Server Project and select "Add Virtual Touchscreen" from the context menu.

Alternatively, in Design view with a space in focus, select "ETC Paradigm" from the Station Library and right click on the Virtual Touchscreen and select "Add Station to Central Control Server" .

When the station is added, the "Touchscreen Configuration" dialog displays for specification of the ControlDesigner configuration file.

Automatic Touchscreen Configurations for Virtual Touchscreens are not permitted.

Virtual Touchscreen instances display in the server level "Stations" node. They will not appear in any particular space as they can apply to any or all projects in the Server Project.
