• “Group”: allows you to assign the programmable key to a group. Assign a key to a 
group when you need to define exclusive operation between various programmable 
keys (the activation of one of them entail the deactivation of the one active at that 
moment). You can create up to 8 programmable keys groups. “None” indicates that key 
is not assigned to a group. 
• “Latch Mode”: allows you to configure the key as “Latch” or “Non Latch”, so after you 
press it, the key stays fixed or not. When a key is configured as “Non Latch”, it executes 
the associated function only while it remains pressed. 
• “GPI”: allos you to select the physical GPI input, in the section of system common I/O's, 
associated to the programmable key activation. 
• “Push”: when you associates a GPI and a GPO to the same key and you activate this 
checkbox, the GPO is automatically activated when GPI is received. When “Push” 
checkbox is not active, this automatic activation is not made. 
• “GPO”: allos you to select the physical GPO output, in the section of system common 
I/O's, associated to the programmable key activation. 
• “Key Secuence”: allows you to select the operating sequence of the programmable 
key: 
o “Off-On-Off”: initially the key is off, it turns on when the programmable key is 
pressed (or when the associated GPI is activated) and off when it’s pressed 
again (or when the GPI is deactivated). From this point the cycle is re-initiated. 
o “Off-On-Blinking-Off”: initially the key is off, it turns on when the 
programmable key is pressed, starts blinking when the key is pressed again 
and turn off when it’s pressed again. From this point the cycle is re-initiated. 
When activation is through an associated GPI, the key turns on when the GPI is 
activated and starts blinking when it’s deactivated. 
o “Off-Blinking-Off”:  initially the key is off, it starts blinking when the 
programmable key is pressed (or when the associated GPI is activated) and off 
when it’s pressed again (or when the GPI is deactivated). From this point the 
cycle is re-initiated. 
o “Off-Blinking-On-Off”: initially the key is off, it starts blinking when the 
programmable key is pressed, turns on when the key is pressed again and turn 
off when it’s pressed again. From this point the cycle is re-initiated. When 
activation is through an associated GPI, the key starts blinking when the GPI is 
activated and turns off when it’s deactivated. 
o “No changes
”: this option is exclusively associated to GPIs. The key turns on 
when GPI is activated and keeps on until that GPI is deactivated, even if the 
key is pressed. 
• “OK”: allows you to accept the created or edited configuration. 
• “Cancel”: allows you to reject the created or edited configuration. No change you may 
have made is saved. 
4.3.2.3. Configuration of “Salvo” programmable keys. 
Programmable keys that are set to “Salvo” are used to activate/deactive a Salvo or group of 
conecctions and/or disconnections of several cross-points. A key set to this function is assigned 
with a dedicated icon.
