How to Customize a Help Menu Item

  In PC configurator (HDMIoverIPConsole), Help menu allows you to customize a menu item to suit the specific needs of a certain application, for example to add a help file. Help menu items are generated based on their configuration files, which contain item names and the corresponding document paths. To open a menu item's document, click Help, and then choose a menu item. To customize a menu item, do as follows. This guide takes V7.1.0 as an example.

  1го In PC configurator's install path such as "./", locate menuhelp.xml, and then open it in a txt document. The commands like below are displayed.

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
  <menu ver="1.0">
    <product menu_name="Customized menu Manual" file_path="F:\4.html"/>
    <product menu_name="How to Customize a Help Menu Item" file_path="./menuhelp.html"/>
  </menu>

  2го In the commands above, "menu_name" is the corresponding menu item name such as "Customized menu Manual"; "file_path" is the document path such as a relative path "./menuhelp.html" and an absolute path "F:\4.html", but this document is usually stored in the PC configurator install path "./".

  Note:

    If you want to delete a menu item, delete a command like "<product menu_name="" file_path=""/>" in its document.

  3го Copy "<product menu_name="" file_path=""/>", and then set menu item names and the corresponding document paths as shown in the following to add three menu items.

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
  <menu ver="1.0">
    <product menu_name="Customized menu Manual" file_path="F:\4.html"/>
    <product menu_name="How to Customize a Help Menu Item" file_path="./menuhelp.html"/>
    <product menu_name="How to setup a matrix system" file_path="F:\1.html"/>
    <product menu_name="How to setup a Videowall system" file_path="F:\2.html"/>
    <product menu_name="How to setup a SG300 swtich" file_path="F:\3.html"/>
  </menu>

  4го When menu item editing process ends, save the menu item's document, and then close it.

  5го Restart PC configurator.

  6го Under Help menu, choose a custom menu item to open its corresponding document.
