Switcher Software, cont’d

Installing the software

The program is included on the same set of 3.5-inch diskettes 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 (http://www.extron.com).

By default, the Windows installation goes 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.

Using the software

1.To run the Button-Label Generator program, double-click the Button-Label Generator icon (shown at left) in the Extron Electronics group or folder, and click OK when prompted. Extron’s Button- Label Generator window appears (figure 5-7).

2.Under System selection, choose Mtx50/MAV/XPoint. This selection creates the correctly sized labels for the ISM’s label strip. The button label editing area changes to reflect the number and arrangement of buttons on the device.

3.Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print labels that can be cut out and placed in the label windows on the front panel of the ISM.

For information about using the program, you can access a help file by clicking on the Help menu on the main screen and choosing Show Help.

You can also see an example of a completed Extron Button-Label Generator window by clicking on the Help menu on the main screen, choosing Show Help, and clicking on the Load Demo button.
