Help
This Instruction Manual is accessible from within Pro Editor under Help.

5.2 I/O State – Indicator Devices

Depending on the device connected to Pro Editor, one of two configuration parameters displays:
• When an indicator device is connected, I/O State configuration displays.
• When a touch device is connected, Device Logic Mode configuration displays. For touch device configuration, see
Device Logic Modes – Touch Devices on page 11.
By default, when an indicator device is connected, Pro Editor opens I/O State configuration in Advanced.
Three I/O States are available:
• Basic
• Advanced
• I/O Block

5.2.1 I/O State – Basic

Four state control. Configurations made in I/O State Basic assign one wire to one state, with the following override control:
• Pin 1 (Brown) overrides Pin 4 (Black)
• Pin 2 (White) overrides Pins 1 and 4 (Brown and Black)
• Pin 5 (Gray) overrides Pins 1, 2, and 4 (Brown, White, and Black)

5.2.2 I/O State – Advanced

Default I/O state with full 15 state options for maximum configurability. Configurations made in Advanced assign binary
wiring combinations of all valid inputs to each state.

5.2.3 I/O State – I/O Block

Three state control for use with I/O block. Configurations made in I/O Block assign states to the black, white, and
combination of black and white wires for use with I/O blocks for which power (brown) and common (blue) are always on for
five pin connections.

5.3 Device Logic Modes – Touch Devices

Depending on the device connected to Pro Editor, one of two configuration parameters displays:
• When a touch device is connected, Device Logic Mode configuration displays.
• When an indicator device is connected, I/O State configuration displays. For indicator device configuration, see I/O
State – Indicator Devices on page 10.
By default, when a touch device is connected, Pro Editor opens Device Logic Mode configuration populated with the
configuration written to the device. If no device logic mode is selected, use the Device Logic Mode drop-down to select a
logic mode, then write the configuration to the device.
Three Device Logic Modes are available:
• Four State Full Logic
• Three State Advanced Control
• Seven State Advanced Control

5.3.1 Device Logic Mode – Four State Full Logic

When using Four State Full Logic, four device states are activated by one input wire and the touch button. The touch button
also toggles the output(s).

Assuming power is on using the blue and brown wires: Four State

6 Configure a Device
Read, write, and preview device states using the following controls.

Note: After editing a device state setting or loading a configuration file, any settings that are not written to
the connected device are highlighted yellow. Disconnecting the device from Pro Editor before writing
device settings will result in these settings being lost.

6.1 Preview
To preview a device state, click Start on the desired device function row. The selected row remains available for editing
while all other rows are locked and shown as grayed out. If any options are changed during this time they are highlighted
yellow while all other rows and the File and Device menu items are locked8.

Figure 11. Pro Editor Configuration – Preview Active

To stop preview, click Stop. Any device state options that were changed will remain but are not written to the device unless
Write Device Settings is clicked.

Note: By default, when not in preview mode, a connected indicator device displays the configured Brown
& Gray device state function.

Note: If using the limited preview capabilities setup, some preview features may be unavailable, including
certain animations and colors.

Note: If using the limited preview capabilities setup, a red flashing LED on the Pro Converter Cable
indicates a device power fault. See Troubleshooting on page 19 for more information.

6.2 Device State

The Device State table lists the animation configurations which can be activated by combinations of input wires. The listed
wire color(s) must be ON for the device state to display.

Note: For indicator devices, the blue or brown wire should always be connected to ground, depending on
desired polarity.

Note: For touch devices, the blue and brown wires should always be connected to power and ground,
depending on desired polarity.

Note: For touch devices in Four State Full Logic mode, wire colors are replaced with state numbers
corresponding to the active logic mode.

8 When applicable, the File, Device, Global Parameters, and AdvancedSettings items are disabled when a device is in Preview Mode.
