Tools are handy utilities that make your programming easier. The [TOOLS] button or [T] button gives you access to the last tool you used and works as a toggle. While a tool is active the LED on the button will flash. To select a tool, press and hold the tools button. The softkeys will then show the available tools:
While holding the Tools button, select the desired tool by pressing the appropriate softkey (if you need to see more, press [S12] while still holding down Tools). That tool will then become active and the [TOOL] LED will continue to flash. Press the tools button again to disable the active tool. The pink Tool Status Bubble will now show the last tool used:
You can also click or touch the Tool bubble to activate the displayed tool. If you hold down [SHIFT] before pressing the Tool bubble, you will be presented with a large list of available tools:
Use the mouse, arrow keys or wheel to select the desired Tool and press [ENTER]. You can also use the softkeys to select tools when this pop-up is open.
Note:
Launching a Tool this way does not change the current Tool.
The first four softkeys will be labeled with the Look Pages as assigned in the Hardware Setup - Button Array. If you do chose one of these first four tools, the Button Array 5x5 display will be superimposed on your main screen and you will be able to use the mouse or touchscreen to select whatever you have setup in the array. (Note: you do not have to have a physical button array to view the 5x5 array of palette buttons.)
