dialog.

Push Button Event - Select to display Push Button Events in the Event window (default =
enabled).

Show Functions for Device Only - This option filters the device list in the Functions tab to
show only the currently selected device (not all devices in the system, which is the default
view). This is the same as using the Filter Functions toolbar button.
Show Status for Device Only - This option filters the device list in the Status tab to show only
the currently selected device (not all devices in the system, which is the default view). This is
the same as using the Filter Status toolbar button.
Show Friendly Names (Functions) - This option toggles the display of functions in the
Functions tab.
When this option is disabled (which is the default setting), the Functions tab displays all
functions for the selected device individually, with a descriptive name for each one. For
functions that support multiple parameters, each parameter is listed separately in the
Functions tab. This allows you to select a specific function/parameter directly into the
Event window.
