For each device listed in the Main Menu, there is a device-specific Sub Menu that provides
specific controls for the selected device. Sub menus also typically provide a way for the end-
user to return from the sub-menu to the Main Menu.
Adding Devices To The Main Menu
To control a device via a Keypad, you must first add each device that you want to control to the Main
Menu on the LCD Display Menu:
1.
Open the Keypad UI tab for an LCD display-equipped Keypad to display the Keypad diagram.
2.
Select
Keypad > Edit LCD Menu
(or click the toolbar button) to open the Keypad Fixed Menu
Editor dialog. Initially, the dialog indicates the
[Add Menu Item]
option, highlighted in the Main
Menu window.
3.
Click the
Add
button to open the Add Main Menu Item dialog.
4.
Click on the
Select a Device
radio button.
5.
Select a device in the Devices list. The selected device's name (based on the Manufacturer and
Model) is automatically added to the
Item Caption
text field. You can edit this text if necessary.
6.
Click
OK
to add the device to the Main Menu.
At this point, you can either create a sub menu for this device (by adding Events to the device's sub
menu), or add more devices to the Main Menu.
Consider using separators to drop a horizontal line between items on the Main Menu, to separate devices
or device types.
To add a separator, click on
[Add Menu Item]
in the Main Menu window (of the Keypad Fixed Menu
Editor dialog):
1.
Click
Add
to open the Add Main Menu Item dialog.
2.
Select the
Separator
radio button (note that a horizontal line is indicated in the Item Caption field).
3.
Click
OK
.
Once you have added the devices that you want to provide control for to the Main Menu, you need to
create a device-specific sub menu for each device. The device sub menu provides specific controls for
each device to the end-user.
Adding Events To A Device Sub Menu
Once you have added the devices that you want to provide control for to the Main Menu, you need to
create a device-specific sub menu for each device. The device sub menu provides specific controls for
each device to the end-user. This accomplished by adding Events to each device's Sub Menu:
Events represent the various control functions supported by each device. Examples include Power, Play,
Setup, etc. Add Events to the sub menu for each device to provide controls for the selected device to the
end-user.
If you are not already in the Keypad Fixed Menu Editor dialog, open the Keypad's UI tab and select
Keypad > Edit LCD Menu
(or click the toolbar button).
Assuming you have already added at least one device to the Main Menu, select a device in the Main
Menu window to enable the
[Add Menu Item]
option to the Sub Menu window.
1.
Click on
[Add Menu Item]
in the Sub Menu window.
2.
Click on the
Add
button to open the Add Sub Menu Item dialog.
3.
Select an event from the Events list. The selected event's name is automatically added to the Item
Caption text field. You can edit this text if necessary.
4.
Click
OK
to add the event to the Sub Menu.
