360 Systems DigiCart/E - Manual (Page 44)

34 • • • • Setup and Utility Menus
Local Hot Key assignments are saved in a separate list stored on each DigiCart/E. 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/E 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.
If the PLAY HOT KEYS USING parameter is set to Local Assignments, the Local Hot Keys list will
always be used, regardless of the current drive.
Net Drive Hot Key assignments can be reprogrammed from any DigiCart/E that has access to them.
Editing Hot Keys Assignment Lists on Net Drives
Hot Keys Assignment List files are ASCII text files that can be edited with any simple text editor
program, such as Wordpad. This applies to Net Drive assignments only; internal drive assignments do
not use this method of storage. The file format lists the Hot Key ID number (see the Hot Key Mapping
Table, above) with a DigiCart File ID number and reference information. When Hot Key assignments
are made on a DigiCart, this file is created automatically. DigiCart updates the file as Hot Keys are
reassigned.
The following format is used:
"xxx d.ynnn reference"
where:
xxx = 3 digit Hot Key ID number
d = DigiCart drive number
y = DigiCart directory number
nnn = 3 digit DigiCart index number, 000-999
reference = When the Hot Keys Assignments file is created by DigiCart, additional information will
be added to each line about the file. This information is for reference only. DigiCart
does not use this information when playing a Hot Key. When editing the Hot Key
assignments, reference information may be omitted or added to suit your own needs.
Notes:
• There is a space between the Hot Key ID and File ID number fields.
• The File ID number contains a decimal point between the drive and directory fields.

DigiCart/E provides the flexible ability to copy the contents of drives, directories, cuts and Playlists to any
location of the same type. You may use this feature to create nearly identical Playlists with only one or two
items that are different.
