Programming Properties

Once you have created a new button, you can use the Programming tab of the Properties Control window
to set/edit general (non-state oriented) button properties. The Programming tab contains a table that lists
the programming-related button properties for the selected button type.
To edit any of the listed button properties, click on an item in the right-hand column to activate the field.
Depending on the item selected, you can either set the item manually, select from a drop-down menu, or
both.

This value determines the repeat time (in 1/10th-second increments) for relative
level control. For example, if this value is set to 10, the user can hold the button
down for one second to cause the level to raise or lower repeatedly (according to
the specified Level Control Value) without having to press the button each time.
Note: This option is available only for Relative level control.
These options allow General buttons to directly control a level without the need
for NetLinx code. Select a level control type for the selected button (Absolute,
Relative or None). These options require additional parameters to be defined.
Absolute: The button acts like a preset and sets the level to the desired value.
Relative: The button increments or decrements the current level value by a
fixed amount.
• For Absolute level control, this value determines the level value that will be
recalled by this button.
• For Relative level control, this value determines the amount of adjustment
relative to the current level resulting from this button. For relative level control,
this value can be entered as a positive integer (to raise the relative level
setting) or a negative integer (to lower the relative level setting).
Select Display Only, Active, Active Centering, Drag or Drag Centering.
