Using the Button Label Generator
The Button Label Generator software creates labels for the DXP input and output buttons.
You can create labels with names, alphanumeric characters, icons, and even colored
bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. See “
Replacing Button
Labels ” on the next page for procedures for removing and replacing the button covers
and changing the labels.
The program is contained on the same DVD as the Matrix Switcher Control Program,
and is installed automatically when you install the control software. By default, the
software installation creates a directory for the program at
C:\Program Files\Extron\
ButtonLabelGenerator
. The Button Label Generator icon is placed in the Extron
Electronics group or folder.
1. To run the label creation program, double-click on the
Button Label
Generator
icon (shown at right) in the Extron Electronics group or folder.
