You may wish to customize the labeling of the ISM’s front panel buttons. Blank templates for the ISM’s button label windows are included on page 75. However, you can easily create, customize, and print labels for the switcher’s input label window by using the Button- Label Generator software. This program creates and prints labels that can be inserted into the input label window on the switcher.

Installing the Software

The program is included on the same CD-ROM as the ISS/ISM Control Program and is installed automatically when you install that program. It can also be downloaded from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com).

By default, the files are installed in either the C:\ISSISM directory, if installed automatically with the ISS/ISM Control Program, or the C:\BUTTONS directory if installed as a stand-alone program. The Button-Label Generator icon is placed in the “Extron Electronics” group or folder.
