Button-Label Generator Program

The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place in the

translucent covers above and below the front panel input and output buttons. You

can create labels with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for

easy and intuitive input and output selection. See appendix A, “Specifications,

Part Numbers, Accessories”, for the procedure for removing and replacing the

translucent covers.
The Extron Button Label Generator is available on the Extron Web site,

www.extron.com, under the Download Center tab. Click the

Software

link

(figure 5-13), and download and install the program.
