Modifying a Control Panel
Creating a Device Command Button

Chromeleon lets you assign a command to a device command button so that you can execute the command by clicking the button. To create a device command button, you must have the appropriate authorization.

• Right-click the corresponding button and select Properties on the context menu.

• Open the Link tab page.

• From the Object list box, select the object to which you want to link the command. From the Command list box, select the command to be linked to the selected object.

• Select the Default Parameters tab page.

• Specify the default setting for the linked command and enter any comment text you want to have associated with the command.

 Tip:

Device command buttons provide commands for controlling a specific device (for example, performing a detector autozero). Timebase command buttons provide commands for controlling a timebase (for example, creating a program).
