lites4u - i can't call crestron. prodigy thru disty dealer. have reported to disty.

btw there was an update today.

if any of you folks could build a simple system with composer and see if you get the same result to confirm that would be super.

i have built several new systems both at office and at home lab (different rcvr, different source, different panel) and consistently get same result. panel does not go on with generated program. only the home test were built with today's update (some before and some after).

the only way the panel fires up is if i put in a delay within the glbl preset before the power command is pulsed.

if you dont get the same result then i think i should nuke the s/w and reload.

probably going to start projects in sb and bypass composer to see if that makes a difference.

Your best bet is to not let composer build all your logic. Start from scratch in system builder and add the logic in yourself. The logic fires to quick through composer compiled projects. For display devices I have noticed that power on and input are to close together. You have to add delays and time your display WITH THE PROGRAM in order to send the input to the display at the correct time. Safe bet would be to send the input to the display with a two second delay and send it again.

I'll try one today. Styed up till 3 trying to decipher the simple code that is generated. Waste of time.

Would still like to know if this issue is mine alone though.

Found this in the Release Notes for the new updates to System Buidler ver. 3.10.036.

Problem solved and finally understood.

net net is crestron changed the way they generate the sb program from the composer.

recompiled an older system and found that it works AOK.

don't know why i didn't think to immediately do the following days ago:

compared the output feedback settings in the two zone extender and there is a difference. in the newer built system the global display on on preset is run from the Source_'xxx' select line level rising, in the old system it is run from the extender zone 1 power on.

and that makes the not-working/working difference for my system. this is because the display pwr on preset is now back wehre it belongs in the run sequence - and the initial timeout set in Properties for the 2 zone vol extender PROPERTY - Receiver/Display Power Time - is obeyed.

hope this helps (and if it did wouldn't mind hearing so)

(still don't know why the darn panel wouldn't power up - suspect the ir receiver was getting jammed by the immediate input set command - but thats just a guess)

yup thats it.

rtfm damn.
