56 Defining Soft Button Functions
The procedure for defining a soft button is as follows:
1
In the top-right panel, select the button number (
B1
-
B12
) on the
required level (
Lvl1
-
Lvl4
).
Note that selecting one of the
Lvl#
button levels will enable you
to specify a title for that group of buttons. The title will be
displayed on the button immediately below the
Level #
button,
but you cannot program this button.
2
In the
Title
box enter the text to be displayed on the button (up to
twenty characters).
3
In the
Macro
box enter the function definition for the button.
The definition can contain key functions and control characters
to be actioned as well as normal text. Refer to the appendix
“Programming Keys & Buttons” on page 287 for details.
Double-clicking on an
Emulation Key
or
Virtual Key
will apply
that key function to the button definition.
4
Test the function definition by clicking the
Play Macro
button.
5
If you want the function to be performed locally only, check the
Local
box.
6
Specify how many soft button levels you want to be displayed at
any one time using the
Visible Levels
selection list. You can
display up to four levels at a time with each level containing
twelve programmable soft buttons. Selecting
0
will remove the
soft buttons from the display.
7
If you want the soft buttons displayed in a separate window,
uncheck the
Attached to the window
option.
8
When you have finished defining soft button functions, click
OK
.
