Hot Key Lists
As a new feature in DigiCart/EX, Hot Key assignments can be stored and recalled in two ways,
either Network Drive or Local. The chief benefit of using Net Drive Hot Keys is that those Hot
Key assignments can be accessed by one or more users concurrently from anywhere on the
network. All recordings linked to Net Drive Hot Keys must be on the current network drive, in
any of the current drive’s directories.
Local Hot Key assignments are saved in a separate list stored on each DigiCart/EX. Local Hot
Keys can be made up of any mix of events from different local drives and directories (i.e. any
partitioned drive on the internal hard disk).
The PLAY HOT KEYS USING parameter in the Setup menu controls the default behavior for Hot
Key assignment lists. If this parameter is set to Net Drive, DigiCart/EX will use the Hot Key list
on the currently selected network drive. As you move from one network drive to another, the
Hot Keys list of the current drive will load automatically. If the current drive is changed to a
local drive, the Local Hot Keys list will automatically become active. There is only one Local
Hot Keys assignment list, rather than one per local drive partition.
