Setting The Button Configuration

With a new KeypadBuilder project file open, click Button Configuration in the Navigation Pane.
1. By clicking on a button in the Keypad Device area, select a button you wish to configure.
Under Button Properties:
2. Type the name of the button in the Name field. The button name is useful in tracking channel
assignments. This name should not be confused with what is sent to engraving, this name is strictly
within KeypadBuilder.
3. Enter the Channel Code for the button assignment in the field provided. KeypadBuilder inserts the
next available code if you click Auto Assign.
4. Set the Menu Action value by selecting one from the drop down list. A menu action interacts with
the fixed menu items you can set later.
If you have a menu system, it is a good idea to be aware of possible navigation
issues. When you have more menu line items than what is supported by your device
display, an Up and Down menu action allows you to access them. If you have sub-
menus, you might need a Home menu action to return you to the main menu.
5. Click Update to set the values for your selected button. Clicking on another button before clicking
Update will drop all settings for your selected button. Repeat this for all of your buttons including
the LCD button.
6. Set the Configuration Options
It is important to set your blank and combined buttons before creating the engraving
file; they are included in the custom order you place with AMX.
7. Click OK to confirm the changes or Cancel to exit and drop all changes.

The Number field cannot be edited, it is set by the firmware for the keypad device
selected.
Placing a check next to Lock Channel for Menus and Sub Menus makes the assigned
channel code unavailable for any other button assignments.
Up - moves the navigation up through the menu system.
Down - moves the navigation down through the menu system.
Select - activates the navigation item in the menu system.
Home - returns the navigation back to the main menu system.
To create blank buttons, click Blank Buttons. Now click on any button in the Keypad Device
area to make it a blank. Making a button that previously held information blank drops all
configuration information. Click Blank Buttons again to exit mode.
To combine buttons, click Combine Buttons. Click on any button and it combines with the
button to its immediate right. The button configuration information of the right button is
dropped. Click Combine Buttons again to exit mode.
