Extron electronic DXP DVI PRO Using the Button Label Generator, Button Label Generator Window

Using the Button Label Generator

The Button Label Generator software creates labels for the DXP input and output buttons. You can create labels with names, alphanumeric characters, icons, and even colored bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. See “Replacing Button Labels” on the next page for procedures for removing and replacing the button covers and changing the labels.

The program is contained on the same DVD as the Matrix Switcher Control Program, and is installed automatically when you install the control software. By default, the software installation creates a directory for the program at C:\Program Files\Extron\ ButtonLabelGenerator. The Button Label Generator icon is placed in the Extron Electronics group or folder.

1.To run the label creation program, double-click on the Button Label Generator icon (shown at right) in the Extron Electronics group or folder. The Button Label Generator window opens.

2.From the Systems pull-down menu, select DXP 44/88 for the layout that most resembles all DXP switchers (although you can select any option from this menu).

You can also select Customize Button Layouts from the Tools menu to open the Customize button layout window, on which you can create your own layout.

3.Click on the button representation that you want to edit. A red box surrounds the selected button.

4.Edit the selected button by using any of the tools provided on the Button Label Generator window. Some of the edits you can make are:

•Enter text and select the font, text size, and text color from the drop-down menus on the tool bar.

•Select an icon from the Button Picture Palette and drag it to a button.

•Place a bitmap image from your computer on a selected button.

To remove all the text or the image from a selected button, click Clear Button. To remove the text and images from all the buttons, click Clear All Buttons.

To access the Button Label Generator help, select Use Help from the Help menu.
