1.

OK:

Sends the created command block to the Panel screen.

 

2.

Cancel:

Returns you to the Panel screen without creating a command block.

3.

Command List:

List of the commands that can be specified.

 

 

4.

Block:

Displays the command selected from the command list.

 

5.

Number keys:

Used to input the parameter for the selected command. The parameter

 

 

units - "steps", "sec" and so on - vary depending on the command,

 

 

and they are displayed in the key area.

 

 

Note: The number of steps must be between 1 and 50, the number of cries must be between 1 and 50, the Option action must last between 1 and 50 seconds, and the number of panel-switches and tones must be between 1 and 8.

6.High-speed button: Used to select the speed of the action associated with the command. When this button is selected, the action is performed at high speed, and when this button is only displayed when you have selected a command for which speed settings are applicable.

7.Interrupt button: Use to select the whether or not the currently selected command

 

 

can be interrupted. This button is only displayed when you have

 

 

selected a command which can be interrupted.

8.

Help:
