Button Properties for External Buttons

If your Touch Panel comes with external buttons, these can be configured with features similar to on-screen buttons, for more information see the Creating a Button subsection. Use the PROPERTIES option to assign properties to external pushbuttons. The BUTTON OPTIONS and VARIABLE TEXT features within the PROPERTIES page will not appear. Although the Border and Color sections of this page appear, they are of no use by external buttons since they do not appear on- screen.

Creating a Joystick

You can create a joystick with the BUTTON TYPE option in the BUTTON PROPERTIES page. Joysticks (Figure 61) are vertical and horizontal direction controllers you use for camera operations such as pan and tilt.

Before you start, make sure to connect the Touch Panel to your AXCESS Central Controller. Otherwise, the joystick will not work properly. For more information, refer to the Touch Panel Program Reference section in this manual.
