Advanced Applications - Variables and Dynamic Options Enable “Display” Buttons
Variables offer many additional programming possibilities to the imaginative programmer. There are several
ways to utilize variables, one of them is by assigning a variable to a button. When you assign a variable to a
button and when the push of another button sets the variable to “1”, the dynamic button will react by display-
ing it’s “Pressed” image for as long as the specified variable stays set to “1”. When you set a button to be
dynamic, any other button can ALIAS to it (see Macro recording on the next page) and trigger the dynamic
button into displaying both its after image and its “Pressed” text. The button will flash its “Pressed” image and
text as long as the macro written to the dynamic button lasts (you can program delays as you like). This makes
lots of interesting “display” buttons possible.

Button ID
This is not the button label.The
button ID is editable however.
The button ID is the label you
will see in the ALIAS window
when recording macros. If you
like, you can make a button
easier to find by editing the
Button ID to a more unique
name.
IR ID
This is not editable, except by
dragging and dropping a new
IR database code to this button.
The IR ID assigns codes from
the database to this button
when you choose to SAVE ALL
of the codes from a code set.
Variable Name
If you would like to make a
button dynamically change to
its AFTER graphic when a vari-
able changes to Value “True”,
select the Variable in the list
box.
New Variable Button
If you haven’t named a vari-
able yet, click on NEW to
name it. The NEW Variable
window also enables you to
delete variables that are no
longer needed.
