Button Labels
Page 130
provides strips of blank button labels. If desired, photocopy them or cut them out
of the guide, write button information in each button area as desired, and put them in the
SMX input or output buttons windows. Labels can be created using the Extron
Button-Label Generator software.
Using the Button Label Generator
The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place inside the translucent
covers of the input and output push buttons (see
Replacing Button Labels
on page 128
for procedures for removing the replacing the translucent covers). You can create labels
with names, alphanumeric characters, icons, and even colored bitmaps for easy and intuitive
input and output selection.
The program is contained on the same DVD as the SMX Control Program and is installed
automatically when you install the control software.
By default, the software files are placed in the
C:\Program Files\Extron\
ButtonLabelGenerator
directory. The
Button Label Generator
icon is placed in the
“Extron Electronics” group or folder.

drop-down list, select a system button configuration.
The
Matrix Switchers 3232

selections most closely match the button
configuration of the SMX (the SMX option gives you four rows of blank buttons).
However, you can select any option from this menu. Selecting
Customize Button
Layouts
opens a blank worksheet on which customized buttons can be placed in any
desired configuration.
