General Information
------- -----------

This is the README file for VisualGatewayEditor, a simple demonstration of the use of the
"OpenACN" project (http://openacn.engarts.com/) to create a PC application that has real application,
the configuration of ACN-DMX gateways from Electronic Theatre Controls (http://www.etcconnect.com).

Currently the project is set up to compile for Win32 (using MSVC2005 or newer). It should be a reasonably
easy task to add support for other platforms.

The project is hosted at Sourceforge : http://visualgweditor.sourceforge.net/

Installation
------------

A prebuilt installer is available from the Sourceforge page above. If you are reading this you
have the source code package. You can compile from source, or download the installer from the page above. 

Usage
-----
Currently only the two port gateways are supported. Add or remove gateways using the buttons on the bottom left.

When a gateway with a CID matching one on the network is discovered, the gateway LED is lit green. You can assign
universes by dragging and dropping from the universe list to the left.

Building
--------
Currently the project can be built with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or later. Solution/Project files are in the 
VisualGatewayEditor/win32 directory.
