the same model, you can modify the driver for the model you need. See “Create, Copy and

Edit Driver Wizards.”

x Edit Existing Driver—Launches the Driver Wizard and lets you modify an existing driver.

This is mostly for testing purposes. After you create a driver, you can test the driver by

adding it to the Control4 system to see if it functions correctly. The Edit feature allows you to

make modifications when necessary. See “Create, Copy and Edit Driver Wizards.”

x Add Driver—Lets you search the Local Database to add a .c4i driver if it doesn't exist in the

project. Director will load the new driver, but you will have to add the driver to the project. You

can use Update Driver to replace an existing one. This option is used mostly with

DriverWorks. See Composer Pro User Guide for details.

x Manage Drivers—Lets you manage drivers in your local database and the drivers on the My

Drivers tab. See “Manage Drivers Dialog.”

Tip: You can also right-click the driver in the project tree to: Rename, Edit Driver, Export Driver,

Update Driver, or Delete a driver. New with OS 2.0: Use the same procedure to Update Driver as with

Add Driver (see above). However, Update Driver updates your driver if it IS in your project. Note: If

the driver connection IDs change, the driver will need to be connected again. Double-check your

connection after you update your driver.

When the dialog appears, from the pull-down menus, select the Device Type and

Manufacturer of the device you want to download, and then click Search. Check the driver

your local database.
