Button Properties for External Pushbuttons

If your touch panel comes with external pushbuttons, these can be configured with
features similar to on-screen buttons. Refer to Creating a Button, Button Properties, and
Properties Page — External Buttons for detailed information. Use the PROPERTIES op-
eration bar to assign properties to external pushbuttons. The BUTTON options and
VARIABLE TEXT features within the Properties page will not appear. Although the
Border and Color sections of this page appear, they are of no use to external pushbut-
tons since they do not appear on-screen.

Creating a Joystick

You can create a joystick with the BUTTON TYPE operation bar in the Button Proper-
ties page. Joysticks (Figure 69) are vertical and horizontal direction controllers (pan
and tilt) you can use for camera operations.
