This button sends a single value each time that it is pressed. While a button can be linked to a device parameter, it is more typically linked to a system function.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter or system function to function properly. You can also easily add a pre-defined label.
On the following example, if “Preset 1” button is pushed, the 1st preset is selected for DriveRack #1. If “Preset 2” button is pushed, the 2nd preset is selected. Each button push overrides the value of the previous button push.
