Setting Device Properties

Overview

When a device is selected in the System diagram, detailed information for that device is displayed in the
Properties window (FIG. 63). Many of these properties are editable, and some require input.

The Properties Window is context sensitive: the rows displayed this table will vary depending on the
nature of the selected device.
Also note that if a Keypad is selected in the System Diagram, the Properties window represents the
device-level properties for that keypad only, but if the Keypad's UI tab is opened, the Properties window
indicates button-level properties (in addition to device-level properties).

Using Quick Input

Select Quick Input from the Edit menu (or the System Diagram context menu or Touch Panel UI
Diagram context menu) to access the Quick Input sub-menu.
The Quick Input setting allows you to enter a particular device or touch panel template element property,
without having to select the property in the Properties Window.
Use the Edit > Quick Input submenu to specify which device property to assign Quick Input to. The
options are:
VisualArchitect v1.1
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. COPYRIGHT, AMX LLC, 2006
Name (default setting): With this option selected, you can select a device and type to change
that device's name.
Current Property: Highlight any device property (in the Properties window) and select
Current Property to assign the selected property to Quick Input.
For example, select the Device Number property (in the Properties window), and select
Current Property from the Quick Input sub-menu, then any time you select a device in the
System Diagram, you can just type and press the Enter key to enter a device number for the
selected device. Note that VA will prompt you if the value entered is outside of the allowed
range for the selected property.
Disabled: This option disables the Quick Input feature.
