Button-Label Generator Program

The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place in the translucent covers of the input and output pushbuttons. You can create labels with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. See appendix B, Specifications, Part Numbers, and Accessories, for blank labels and procedures for removing and replacing the translucent covers.

The program is contained on the same set of 3.5-inch diskettes as the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program and is installed automatically when you install that program.

By default, the Windows installation goes in either the C:\MTRX50 directory, if installed automatically with the Matrix Switcher+ 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 on the Button-Label Generator icon (shown at right) in the Extron Electronics group or folder, and click OK when prompted. The Button-Label Generator window appears (figure 5-12).

4. Press the Clear All button to create new labels as many times as necessary to make all of the button labels that you need.
