The AMX NOVARA DCS1000 application allows the ControlPad to perform various functions such as RS232/ IR control / Button Feedback /Delay Time / Relay Control / Time Out if a button press is not detected after a certain time period.

Each button is configured individually; it can be made to execute on a Press or Release.

Each button can be configured to Toggle for up to 4 Presses or it could be assigned to a Bank of buttons having the same function but controlling different equipment.

A Script is written for each button containing events. A script can be written for events to execute when the ControlPad is powered up by selecting ‘Start Up’ from the system window.

An Event could be an RS232 command, a button Feedback, a Delay Time etc.

When any or all of the buttons have been configured, the information can be downloaded to the ControlPad.
