Digi 90000566_H manual Direction=horizontalvertical, Horizontal, Vertical, Item=1-32, Key=key

set menu

direction={horizontalvertical}

The direction in which to display and arrange menu items. This option only applies when the value of the “columns” option is more than 1 since a single column has no sense of direction other than vertical.

horizontal

The items will be displayed in order left-to-right first, then vertical.

vertical

The items will be displayed top-to-bottom first, then left-to-right.

In other words, the following graphic on the left is done using horizontal direction while the one on the right uses vertical.

A	B	C	A	D	G
D	E	F	B	E	H
G	H	I	C	F	I

The default is “horizontal.”

Options for Adding/Updating Custom Menu Items

range=1-32

The index of the custom menu to add menu items to. Either the “range” or “name” option can be specified to add or update menu items for a particular menu.

name=string

The name of the custom menu to add or update menu items for. This option can be used rather than “range.” If the string contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes.

item=1-32

The index of the menu item to add or update. There are a maximum of 32 menu items for a particular custom menu and are indexed 1 to 32.

key=key

The key to assign to the menu item. This key is displayed on the custom menu next to the “label” value, and is used to select the particular menu item. The user presses this key to select the corresponding menu item. The key must be unique to the custom menu, so that no two menu items for the same custom menu share the same key. The keys assigned to the global settings for “quit_key” and “previous_key” are reserved, and may not be assigned to a menu item.

label=string

The text displayed on the custom menu next to the “key” value that describes the action that the menu item will take. When using multiple columns with a custom menu (specified by the “columns” option), it is in the best interest to keep these strings short in length to avoid scrolling. If the string contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes.
