Create a Simple Custom Command 

In this example, I have typed the name of the command, moved my cursor into the Command area and pressed 

the number 2 on my keyboard, and then clicked in the icon area to browse to the image I want associated with 

the command. 

 

 

 

When the command is complete, click ok. It will now appear on the Custom tab, ready to be dragged and 

dropped onto one of the programmable buttons.  

 

 

 

To delete a Custom Command, hover your RAT cursor over the icon and then click the X. If you want to edit an 

existing custom command, go to the Custom tab and left-click the command icon.
