Redback® A 6500 Programming Guide
4.0 ADDING BUTTON ICONS
Programming the button icons is quite simple. Navigate to the Button tab and select "Add New" or press the "Insert" button
on your computer's keyboard. The default "Smiley face" button Icon will appear in the centre of the wall plate simulator
as shown in figure 4.1. The simulator section displays exactly what will appear on the A 6500 wall plate once operational.
Any number of buttons can be added at this stage up to a maximum of 12 buttons as shown in figure 4.2.
(NOTE: There is no option to change the size of the icons on the screen i.e. The buttons are a fixed size regardless of the
number of buttons selected).
Obviously a screen full of smiley faces doesn't provide a very good visual indicator of the functions of the buttons. The button
icons can be changed to the those supplied in the Icon Library or you can create your own. The Icon image is 60 pixels x 60
pixels and can be created and saved as a bitmap image using other readily available image creation software.
It is also possible to import most image files of any size which will be converted by the software to a bitmap image making
it available as an icon.
