Power Pad Editor

Power pads are created and edited using the standalone graphical desktop application, Power Pad Editor. The Power Pad Editor is opened from a BlueZone Display session.

To open the Power Pad Editor:
  1. Click ViewProperties.

  2. Select the Power Pads tab.

  3. Click New or highlight an existing power pad and click Edit.

The power pad canvas is where you create your Power Pads. The control icons are used to select and place the various controls that can be placed on the power pad canvas, such as buttons, text, pictures, and group boxes.

Using the Power Pad Editor you can:
  • Specify the size, title, color, and specific layout of the power pad.
  • Add objects: buttons, text, group boxes, and pictures.
  • Configure buttons to perform actions such as sending keystrokes; running an application, script or macro; and performing any commands that appear in the BlueZone menus, such as connecting to a host, transferring a file, or printing.
  • Make single or multiple copies of objects on a grid.
  • Align and size the objects on the grid as needed.
  • Resize the power pad.
Note: A maximum of 128 objects can be created per power pad.
