recalling presets by pushbuttons

I just installed BLU16- based system in conference hall. Situation is, this hall have movable wall and can be divided into two separate halls.

So I need to make 5 different presets, and let them be recalled by custom made control panel - pushbuttons (radio-button style :) with LED indication over each active button.

I connected buttons to control inputs, and leds to control outputs, but can not make them operate: i can not drag preset selector from custom panel onto logic input, and also vice versa does not work.

Please, somebody, explain a little, how it could be done.

Thanks!

    Just wanted to add - I can apply each button to i.e. matrix switches etc, only preset selection combo box does not allow to be connected to control inputs...
    Also - can it be morphed to light leds depending on preset selected?

    Ok,

    So you have a 5 parameter presets that will be recalled dependent on the way the walls are configured.
    Create the presets into a parameter preset.
    in the logic section create a number of logic sources. These will be placed on the control port inputs. The control port inputs have a open/closed contact relay from the wall or your custom control box.
    If you want to use the control port outputs to light up the LED's then each input will also need a logic output, that you place on the control port outs.

    So there are now a number of ways that you can use logic to recall the presets.

    Place a preset trigger and wire the first logic input to it. If you select the preset trigger, go to 'properties' tab, and you will see that you can assign a preset for both the '0' (off) and '1' (on) state. So that when the logic source goes on and off, a preset is triggered.

    If this is all you need to do, then for each button (logic source) place a corresponding preset.

    What i would do is (once you have tried the above) is
    place a logic source for each wall 'mode'
    place a 'truth table'
    place a preset trigger.
    Change the properties of the preset trigger so that instead of it being one input it is the number of inputs relative to the number of presets you want to recall)
    Use the truth table if you are allowing the user to select more than one button at a time (I.E. if they are latching) this then means if :
    buttons one only is pressed preset one is recalled.
    button two only is pressed preset two is recalled.
    If button one and two are pressed preset 'three' is recalled.

    On the truth table, you use the properties tab to configure which output is triggered by which input.

    Hope this makes sense, i am sure one of the demo files has a room combine circuit in it. go to the application files and look up the 8 room combine file.

    Cheers

    Rob
