  • No Prompt — no prompt. If this option is enabled, the command will be sent once the switch is clicked or the knob rotation is complete or the slider position change is complete.
  • Prompt for Confirmation — prompts you to confirm you want to send the command. If you cancel the command is not sent. See Customizing the Prompt below.
  • Prompt for Value — not applicable. The pointer sets the value.

Show Command Confirmation Message

A command confirmation message is a pop-up that confirms that inter-service communication was successful. That is, that the command was successfully sent from the DDS to the UIS. It does not mean that the command was successfully sent to the device.

Customizing the Prompt

The Confirm Command pop-up title, caption, text, font and colors can be customized by clicking Customize…. Set the desired text, fonts and colors, then click Preview to test the prompt.
