GLOSSARY
Action
The effect the software produces when a trigger is pressed.
Hardpoint
A hardpoint is a button on the software interface that represents a
single physical control on the n52. Click on a hardpoint to select it
for programming.
Macro
A macro is a set of keystrokes that are played in sequence when
triggered.
Profile
A profile is a collection of mappings between triggers and actions. Most
profiles are associated with a specific application. Global Settings is a
special profile that applies when no other profile is associated with the
current application.
Shift State
A shift state is a way of putting more than one function on a single
button of the n52. There are four shift states available:
Normal, Red, Green, and Blue. If no LEDs light up, then Normal mode is
indicated. An LED of the appropriate color indicates the other modes.
Any control on the n52 can activate a shift state. These can either be
active while that control is held, or toggled on and off by using that
control. Controls can have different functions in each shift state. For
example, in Normal mode, button 01 might act like the letter ?a? on the
keyboard; while in Blue mode, button 01 runs a macro.
Trigger
A trigger is any control on the n52 that triggers an action.
