c . Click Yes if you want the configuration program to fill the IR 452
buttons with the commands available with this driver.
Click No if you want to close the Auto Fill window without auto-
filling the IR buttons.
The IR driver name appears on the Driver tab on the MLC 52 main
window. If Auto Fill was performed, the IR 452 buttons for which the
driver has commands display red triangles in their upper-left corners,
indicating that commands have been added to them.
Removing a driver
You remove a driver by different methods, depending on whether the driver is
serial or IR.
Removing an IR driver
To remove an IR driver,
1 . On the Driver tab, click on the IR driver that you want to remove. The
Remove Driver button becomes enabled.
2 . Click Remove Driver.
3 . On the Confirm Delete prompt, click OK. The driver name is removed from
the Driver tab.
Removing a serial driver
To remove a serial driver, you must either replace it with another serial driver (see
“Adding a driver” on page 5-30) or create a new configuration without adding a
serial driver to it. You cannot completely remove a serial driver from a
configuration after one has been added. (The Remove Driver button becomes
grayed out and unavailable when a serial driver is selected.)
Assigning functions to buttons
When you add a driver to the configuration, you must add commands to the
MLC’s buttons to initiate one or more of the driver’s functions. You can also add
commands to the IR 452 Remote Control buttons. A button can contain up to four
commands that are executed when it is pressed.
To add a command function to a button,
1 . On the front panel representation, click on the MLC or IR 452 screen button
to which you want to add a command.
When you select the button, the following occurs on the screen:
• A yellow box surrounds the selected button. (In the example below, the
MLC’s PC button was selected.)
• The fields in the Button Settings section change to reflect the current
settings for the selected button.
• The button’s name appears in the title of the “Current Button” section.
(In the example below, the section title reads “Current Button: PC.”
The Power On and Power Off buttons on the IR 452 are grouped with the
On and Off Display buttons on the MLC. If you click on one of these
buttons on the IR 452 diagram, its equivalent button on the MLC is also
selected, and vice versa.
