The

each Function.

Type the custom control string that you want to assign to each function in the Control Strings
Assignments window, in the
Value
field. Click here to see the rules for writing control strings in
VA.
6.
Click
OK
to save your changes. The program will alert you if there is any required information
missing. In order to save a CSD file, the following information must be defined:
Every Control String Assignment must have a Control String defined (in the Value column of
the Control String Assignments window).
Every CSD file must have a manufacturer defined (in the Manufacturer field of the Properties
window).
Every CSD file must have a device model defined (in the Model field of the Properties
window).
7.
Assuming all required information is present, the Save As dialog prompts you to specify a filename
for this CSD file, and a target directory. Click
Save
to save the file, and close the Save As and
Control Strings Definition dialogs.
If a function has been duplicated in the Control String Assignments window, it is
flagged with a red (!) icon. Each function should only appear in the string assignment
list once.
