Device List
(Area 1)
Shows a list of MicroPeckerX devices recognized by MicroPeckerX Control Software.
You can enable/disable each channel by toggling the checkbox to the left of each channel.
Up Arrow buttonMoves the selected MicroPeckerX channel position in Device List up by one.
For example, if a device assigned to Ch2 is selected, it is reassigned to Ch1 (the previous Ch1 device moves to Ch2).
Down Arrow buttonMoves the selected MicroPeckerX channel position in Device List down by one.
For example, if a device assigned to Ch2 is selected, it is reassigned to Ch3 (the previous Ch3 device moves to Ch2).
Device InfoSerialDisplays the serial number of the MicroPeckerX selected in Device List.
ModelDisplays the model of the MicroPeckerX selected in Device List.
Blink LED buttonBlinks the green and yellow LEDs on the selected MicroPeckerX.
Click again to turn off LEDs.
This helps identify the selected device in Device List.
Device Refresh buttonRe-detects MicroPeckerX devices connected to the PC.
