VVW Front Panel Controllers
Drastic server software supports different front panel options: The original 422 Jog/shuttle, the 4 line LCD with command keys and the newest touch screen VGAs. This page describes the configuration for these front panels.
For version 3 the configuration is stored in the Windows Registry under this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drastic Technologies\VVW\Panel. In version 4 and greater, these settings are stored in the config.xml file under \VVW\Panel.
BaudRate = 19,200 – The speed at which to talk to the panel. Must be 19,200
ComPort = 3 – Which com port the front panel driver is appearing as. Normally 3 or 4.
Enable = 1 – Must be set to one to work
LCDType = 0 – Panel type. Only 635s are supported currently.
SetPowerUp = 0 – Set this to 1 to flash the startup screen into the panel. Will automatically reset to 0 after the software is run.
