Common scripting buttons
Because it is not always clear what script commands need to be created to complete a particular task, this
section will provide you with some assistance. Here you will be taken through the steps involved in
creating scripting buttons for many of the most common tasks needed to be performed on a display
network.
Each subdivision of this section is devoted to a particular task, and will identify the type(s) of script(s) (and
the steps which should be completed for each script) which should be created for the button to
accomplish the specified action. Each task is then, when applicable, further subdivided to describe the
respective steps to follow for DMP-7000 and DMP-8000 displays. For general assistance with creating a
scripting button, see
Create scripting buttons .
In the following sections, “steps” refer to the steps involved in creating the script, identified by buttons
through in the script creation window.

One way to control multiple displays with a scripting button is by including multiple script commands in
that button. When finished creating one script command, simply click the Select Script Line button
