Layout
The Layout function button allows for selection and recall of layouts where applicable.
Multi-viewer, Console Buttons and Programming page layouts are currently implemented.
To select a Layout use syntax like:

The same number of layouts is available as in the GUI. Layout changes also act as they do in the GUI.
When a layout is selected, changes are recalled for that layout in real time, automatically.
Pressing Layout button will populate the Smart Displays with:
| Contextual Button | Display | Description |
| CD1 | MVR | LAYOUT MVR (CD1) 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ENTER will recall Layout 1 – 4 respectively into the Multi-viewer |
| CD2 | Program |
The Programming page can have up to ten layouts. |
| CD3 | Console | LAYOUT Console (CD 3) 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ENTER will Recall Layout 1 – 4 respectively into the Assign Buttons. |
Screens
The Screens button is used to change the active top menu page in the displays of the controller. There are controls for both internal displays (and for one external display on the EC-210).
The built-in touchscreens are numbered 1 and 2. The DVI outputs on the back of the EC-200 mirror those monitors, while the output on the EC-210 shows a discrete third instance of the Event Master Toolset.
When the Screens button is pressed, the contextual displays will be populated with:
| Contextual Button | Display | Description |
| CD1 | Config 1 | Changes the left touchscreen's active menu to the Configuration Page. |
| CD2 | Program 1 | Changes the left touchscreen's active menu to the Programming Page. |

Save PVW (Save from Preview)
Once pressed this button latches the function “Save from PVW Mode” and lights its LED as GREEN. This allows the user to store one or several Templates / Presets or User Keys after the syntax from Preview.
Note: When the LED is RED, it indicates that the Save PGM button turned the EC-200/EC-210 in “Save PGM Mode”.
Example of use:
PRESET # ENTER→ Preset # is stored from Preview as new preset.PRESET # ENTER→ If Preset # already exists, this action will overwrite it from Preview.PRESET ENTER→ Next free preset number is created from Preview.
If either Save PVW or Save PGM is latched and the other is pressed it cancels the previous latch.
The GUI Button Save PVW will turn red to indicate the latched record state.
Save PGM (Save from Program)
Once pressed this button latches the function “Save from PGM Mode”. This allows the user to store one or several Templates / Presets or User Keys after the syntax from Program.
Note: This button does not have its own LED. Therefore, the LED on the Save PVW button will light RED to indicate that the "Save from PGM Mode" is active.
Example of use:
PRESET 5 ENTER→ Preset 5 is stored from Program as new preset.PRESET 5 ENTER→ If Preset 5 already exists, this action will overwrite it from Program.PRESET ENTER→ Next free preset number is created from Program.
If either Save PGM or Save PVW is latched and the other is pressed it cancels the previous latch.
As the Button for Save PGM does not have an internal LED the GUI also must indicate that the button is latched. The GUI Button Save PGM will turn red to indicate the latched record state.
Adjust
The Adjust button provides a shortcut to open the Adjust tab on the active touchscreen.
Note: If nothing is selected that has information that goes in the Adjust tab, it will still open and be empty.
All Dest
All Dest provides a shortcut to select all Destinations for further actions. With press and hold key combinations, this button has added functionality:

All Layer
All Layer provides a shortcut to select all layers that are currently populated on Preview and unlocked Program areas of selected Screen Destinations for further actions. With press and hold key combinations, this button has added functionality:
A Single press selects all layers that are currently on Preview and unlocked Program areas of selected Screen Destinations.
When pressed and held and then the CLEAR button is tapped, all layers of selected Destinations are un-selected.
When pressed and held and then the BARCO EYE button is tapped, the selection is inverted.
Clear
The Clear button has many functions and clearing selections and operands are often used in programming. Most of the CLEAR functionality has been included with each button and is not repeated here. The simplest function of CLEAR is:
- Clears the current selection of the latest selected DEST / LAYER / SOURCE to unselected.
After that it becomes more of a modifier with other buttons.
PVW Trans
