Keypad Legend Generator

The Keypad Legend Generator is a software program designed by Maple Systems to make it easy for MicroOIT users to create and print custom keypad legends.

It allows a user to quickly and conveniently design a Keypad Legend for Maple Systems' 16-key ( OIT3175 / 4175) and 24-key (OIT3165 / 4165, OIT3185 / 4185) Operator Interface Terminals.

The physical and dimensional layout is done automatically when a unit is selected. Designing a Keypad Legend is accomplished by "filling in the blanks".

Four Easy Steps to Create Your Own Legend:
1. Select An OIT Model.

When started, the Keypad Legend Generator (KLG) displays a blank screen. A screen with two Option buttons is presented:


24-Key Unit (OIT3165/85, OIT4165/85)
16-Key Unit (OIT3175, OIT4175)

Select the desired model, then select OK. A blank Legend is then created with the Default settings.


  2.

Set The Background Color.

Select a color to paint the Legend background.

3. Configure Each Key (Key Attributes).

Select a Key, then select Edit Key. Alternatively, double-click on the key to be configured. The Key Attributes screen will be displayed for the selected key.

The existing settings for the selected key will be shown. If there are any key locations that are not to be used, they can be deleted. If the Legend needs additional keys, they can be added.

NOTE: The SYMBOL area allows the selection of a foreground image to place on the key. Unlike the Background Image, this image may be sized and positioned anywhere on the key.

4. Save and Print.
    From the File Menu, select Save, and then Print. The Keyboard Legend
    will be printed on the Default Windows Printer.
