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. You can create labels with
names, alphanumeric characters, icons, and even colored bitmaps for easy and
intuitive input and output selection. See Installing or Replacing Button Labels in
chapter 2 for procedures for removing and replacing the translucent covers.
The program is contained on the same CD-ROM as the MGP Windows-based
control software, and is installed automatically when you install the control
software.
By default, the Windows installation goes in the C:\ProgramFiles\Extron\
ButtonLabelGenerator directory. The Button Label Generator icon is placed in the
“Extron Electronics” group or folder.
1. To run the Button Label Generator program, double-click on
the Button Label Generator icon (shown at right) in the Extron
Electronics group or folder. The Button-Label Generator
window appears (see the figure on the next page).
2. From the Systems pull-down menu, select a system button configuration.
The MGP 462 selections most closely matches the button configuration of the
MGP. However, you can select any option from this menu. You can also
select Customize Button Layouts, which opens a blank worksheet on which
you can place your own buttons in the desired configuration.
