Defining Buttons for the ICS Area

In the input line area click the button "Options". Select the tab sheet "Define Buttons".

For every button in the button area in the ICS area in the Arena main window you have in this dialog a line with the following settings:

1. Button text
2. Command
3. Help

Button text:

This is the caption of the button.

Command:

This is the command or commands sent to the ICS. If you want to send 'Return' to the ICS, e.g. to separate two commands sent one after the other to the ICS, please type '^'. On a Standard Windows Keyboard Layout the '^' key is above the '6'. Some keyboards require typing the '^' sign by hitting the '^' first and then the space key.

Help:

This is a small tool help tip appearing if you rest with the mouse above the button.

Under the button definitions you find five buttons:

  • Add blank line: A new empty button will be created
  • Delete: deletes the currently selected button.
  • 2 Arrow buttons: move the currently selected button upward or downward.
  • Default: Adds the buttons predefined by Arena. Existing button are kept, the
  • predefined buttons are appended at the bottom of the list.
