Return to the “Menu1 – Choose Device” and double click on the VCR object. The
“Edit Panel Object” window appears. From the Page Jump field, select “Menu2 –
VCR Control”, as shown after this paragraph, and click OK. Select the Simulate
check box to make the Front Panel Editor simulate an actual RACK2 front panel.
Click on the VCR function button to enable the simulated page jump. The screen
clears, because “Menu2 – VCR Control” has been named, but no objects have been

Selecting a Page Jump from the "Edit Panel Object" Window
An example VCR Control page, as shown after this paragraph, has a text object that
appears as a header on the top row of the screen and objects that are control
functions assigned to each function button. Objects in the bottom row are shown in
the inactive state (none of the buttons are being pressed).
Example VCR Control Page
Use the “Edit Panel Object” window to add objects to this page. Double click on the
first object (play). From the Digital Channel field in the “Edit Panel Object”
window, scroll down to or enter “1”. In the Active Text field, enter “PLAY” as the
button’s active text. Therefore, when the menu function button associated with
digital channel 1 (the VCR button) is pressed, the active text is displayed as a visual
cue that the button is pressed. Repeat the procedure for each of the other menu
function buttons in the “Menu2 – VCR Control” page, except choose a unique
Digital Channel and assign the proper control function for each button.
NOTE: Digital channels are also referred to as “join numbers”. Join numbers are
numeric identifiers assigned to an object or button. It is necessary to identify objects
so the input/output signals of the SIMPL program can be named and routed properly.
Digital channels for an object on a page are assigned from the Digital Channel field
on the "Edit Panel Object" window.
NOTE: Pages on the Front Panel Editor can be assigned a join number to facilitate
controlled page jumps. Use the “Front Panel Editor" window, as shown after this
