5IO Button Entity

This tool allows the user to create a button and link to items in the input/output (IO) menu. This will allow the user to turn tools on and off without going into the tool. This button can be placed on and used from a slide

Important note: in order for this to work the user must change the  Auto Refresh Time Interval to 100 in the CIF Viewer. The user can do this by scolling down the ROTMain Menu and editing the "CIF Viewer #1" (or whatever number viewer it is). Go to the "Viewer" page and type 100 into the Auto Refresh Time Interval box. If this is not done the button will not be able to toggle, or appear to be working.

Using the IO Button Entity

Drag the tool directly from its original placement onto the slide in the CIF Viewer. This will bring up a box that will contain the button once the buttont is created.
The user can adjust the size of the box before they try to create the button by clicking and draging on the corner or sides of the box. Clicking and draging the image from the center of the box will change the location of the box. These steps can also be done once the button is in place.
Right Click on the box to begin creating the button.

Inputs

The Inputs page allows the user to drag and drop one of the IO Tools onto the IO box on the page. Once to tool is dropped onto the page the user needs to choose what the button will control in the IO.  
Example:  This user placed the Digital IO Collection on the IO spot. This user chose AUX 3. That means that when used it will turn AUX 3 on and off in the IO menu from the slide.

This allows the user to choose what the button will look like and how it will interact on the slide. They can also choose to put a caption on the button and where and what that text will look like.
From the button menu the user can select the "..." button in order to find pre-created buttons that the user can use located within the icons folder.  

Rectangle

This allows the user to set the Center X, Center Y, Width, Height, Fix Ascpect W/H, and the Angle of how the object will appear on the slide.

Entity

This allows the user to adjust the Color, Highlight Color, Thickness, and Handle size of the image box that holds the image and allows the user to adjust the image. The Coordinate system adjusts the original placement of the image on the screen.


Once  the button is created it can be viewed at work while the program is in "Run" and/or "Step" mode.
