◦ Edit Comment: Add a comment to the Mapping name. This will appear at the begin
ning of the mapping name in the Device drop-down list.
◦ Duplicate: Makes a copy of the currently selected mapping.
◦ Export: Allows you to store the currently selected mapping as a file on your hard
disk.
◦ Delete: Deletes the currently selected mapping.
◦ Show Version: Shows the version of the underlying TSI file.
▪ Modifier State: This line displays the current value for each of the eight modifiers with
in the current mapping, and is mainly used as a debugging tool for complex mappings.
If you work with modifiers, it is important to know what value is currently assigned to a
modifier, particularly if something is not working as intended.
▪ Device Target: Chooses the device you wish to control. Available options are Decks A —
D, or Deck Focus.
13.19.3 Assignment Table
The Assignment table lists all assignments for the mapping that is currently selected in De
vice. Remember that all mapped devices are active at the same time, not just the currently
selected mapping.
Fig. 13-3 The Assignment table.
You can sort the Assignment Table by any column if you click on the header of the column,
which is very useful for large mappings. Also adding descriptive comments for each Control
assignment can be very helpful allowing you to sort by the comment column.
