If you are using a Vantage Digital Music Manager (DMM), you have the option to design your own music page using String Status Fields and Tasks to control the Vantage DMM.
If you are using Infusion Media Server, you can add a virtual DMM server to your project. Set the IP address of the PC hosting Infusion Media Server in the DMM IP address area. Program all Tasks and String Status Fields to control Source 1 of the virtual DMM.
Programming and Design Tips
For faster and more accurate response, use the temperature sensor in the status widget.
How to add fonts
