Glossary
Action
An action is a command that will be executed by the ProntoPro. An action can
be an alias, a delay, an IR code, a beep or a timer. You can assign one or
more actions to:
tapping a button;
selecting a device;
selecting a macro group;
pressing an Action button (Page Up, left and right Action button, Page
Down);
pressing a direct-access key (Mute, Vol+, Vol-, P+, P-).
When using one of these elements on the ProntoPro the list of actions will be
executed. An action list can contain up to 255 actions.
Alias (shortcut)
An alias is a shortcut to another command. You can create an alias to a
button action, to a device or a macro group action, to an action of a direct-
access key or an action button. When your ProntoPro is executing an action
list and comes across an alias, the action list referred to by that alias is
executed.
Working with aliases saves memory.
Button
A button is a user interface element on the ProntoPro used to execute
commands. A button with at least one action in the action list appears on the
ProntoPro, a button with an empty action list does not appear on the
ProntoPro until an action is assigned to it.
A button can be displayed with a label, several bitmaps and colors. You can
change the look of a button by adding bitmaps. A button can have up to four
bitmaps, one for each of its states:
inactive and unselected;
inactive and selected;
active and unselected;
active and selected.
CCF
A CCF or configuration file defines and stores the ProntoPro user interface:
devices and macro groups;
panel layouts and button appearances;
the behavior of all buttons, direct-access keys and action buttons
(including all IR codes).
Device
A device appears in the Device menu on the ProntoPro. A device can contain
up to 255 panels.
