Adding a Control Panel
4 In the ‘Button Layout’ section, select a blank button and then in the ‘Button Definitions’ sec-
tion, select a definition for the button from the drop-down list. The button definition appears on
the selected button in the ‘Button Layout’ section.
There are two classes of buttons:
• Those that assign a dedicated function to a button directly, such as ‘Def State’ (default state)
or ‘Clear’. No other options are available.
• Those that define a variable function, such as ‘Category’. Additional options display
enabling you to define the variables.
Select from the following button options:
Hide sources not
configured on this
panel
Hides name of all source devices that are not presently
configured. The control panel displays asterisks instead.

Use Continuous
Scrolling If checked, the panel scrolls source or destination devices
continuously. That is, the display shows the first device in the
list following the last when scrolling up, and shows the last
device after the first if scrolling down.
If unchecked, the panel stops scrolling when it reaches either
the beginning or end of the list.
This option does not affect scrolling of salvos when the panel
is in salvo mode or levels when the panel is in level mode.
