4.14.3 Adapting the layout of the virtual direct control keys
You can adapt the following settings of the virtual direct control key layout.
Please note that the direct control key numbering (Page 48) and the assignment to the
appropriate bits in the image is fixed and cannot be changed. Moving or deactivating a control
key does not change the assignment or numbering.
Precondition
● Configuration file vdck.ini is saved in one of the user directories, and opened in an editor.
See: Creating a configuration file (Page 46), Reference to the vdck.ini configuration file
(Page 48)
Adapting the position of a direct control key
1. In vdck.ini adapt the required value for the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) positions, and note
the following:
– The control key positions are entered in the vdck.ini in the corresponding sections under
X_POS_<control key number> and Y_POS_<control key number>.
– The positioning of the individual control keys is specified in per mill and not in pixels.
This means that the direct control key layout is independent of the screen resolution.
– When parameterizing, orientate yourself using the diagram (Page 48).
2. If necessary, make other modifications or save and close the file.
Adapting the size of a direct control key
1. In vdck.ini adapt the required height and width, and note the following:
– In vdck.ini, width and height are entered in the corresponding sections under
WIDTH_<control key number> and HEIGHT_<control key number>.
– The size of the individual control keys is specified in per mill and not in pixels. This means
that the direct control key layout is independent of the screen resolution.
– In the default setting, every control key has a size of 146 x 112 per mill (width x height).
– When parameterizing, orientate yourself using the diagram (Page 48).
2. If necessary, make other modifications or save and close the file.
