The EKNOB key can be associated to more touchscreen buttons: to change the associated toggle press the EKNOB key.
eTouch
The ETOUCH key allows to record sequences of keys both of the touchscreen and of the control panel. Each recorded sequence (Macro) can be named and saved to be available as a customized button in customized touchscreens.
This key switches between factory and customized touchscreen. Whenever the customized button will be pressed, MyLab will automatically launch the keys sequence.
Once the Customized touchscreen has been configured, it has to be associated to a real time preset.
This symbol is displayed in bright orange on the touchscreen button that is correlated to the EKNOB key.
