KeypadBuilder v2.1
Setting The Fixed-Menu Configuration
With a new KeypadBuilder project file open, click Fixed-Menu Configuration in the Navigation Pane.
Click Close when you have set all options necessary.
Edit Menu Properties
By default KeypadBuilder is set to create the display items in text. If you plan to use Unicode you must
set it before adding any menu items, the same applies when adding sub menus.
1. In the Fixed Menu Edit dialog window, select Edit Menu Properties in the Main Menu field.
2. Click Edit to launch the Edit Keypad Menu dialog window.
3. Click either the Text or Unicode radio button under the Menu Type section. This setting applies to all
menu items.
Under Menu Channel Map notice the Button field is a list of the button numbers with the names you
assigned in the Button Configuration module. The box directly to the right of Button displays the
currently selected button number. You can select buttons by either clicking on them in the Button list or
selecting the button on the graphic keypad device.
If not already set, you can assign channels at this time. You can either:
 Type the channel number in the field next to Channel.
 Click the UP and DOWN arrows next to the Channel field to navigate through the numbers.
 Click Auto Assign and KeypadBuilder will allocate the next available channel.
If you are uncertain as to what channels have been assigned where, click Channel Map to see.
4. Click Update after you make changes to each button.
5. Click OK after you are done.
Add a Menu Item (Text)
1.
In the Fixed Menu Edit dialog window, select Add Menu Item in the Main Menu field.

4. Place a check in the boxes of all items that apply:
 Has Sub-Menu - Creates an entry beneath this display item.

 Return to Main - The menu returns to the top level after this item has been selected.
