Button Properties for External Pushbuttons
External pushbuttons are configured with features similar to on-screen buttons. Their functionality
can be set just as any other button on the touch panel.
Use the PROPERTIES operation bar to assign properties to external pushbuttons. The BUTTON
options and VARIABLE TEXT features within the Properties page do not appear. Although the
Border and Color sections of this page appear, they are of no use to external pushbuttons since they
do not appear on-screen.
Creating a Bargraph and Joystick
Bargraphs are level monitors and adjustable level controls. These levels can be configured to adjust
and monitor audio outputs and lighting levels. Before starting, make sure to connect the touch panel
to your Controller; otherwise, the bargraph may not work properly.
Joysticks are vertical and horizontal direction controllers you can use for camera for pan and tilt
control.
