This display contains four scan groups with each
4 buttons. The way these groups are organized
makes this display a column-row scanned display.
First columns are scanned and then rows are
scanned. Now we will make this display into
row-column scanned display.
- Now you see the Scan Groups dialog which is
divided into Groups and Group content. The scan
group column1 is highlighted and you can see all
the buttons in this particular group in the Group
content. You can also see that the buttons in
this particular group is highlighted with a red
frame on the display.

Tip by using the arrows on the side of the
Groups and the Group Content, you can change the
order of the scanning. If you use the left and
right arrow, you can make scan groups within a
scan group. If you plan to use auditory scanning,
it is important that you name the Scan groups
with a proper name, since groups names can be
read aloud during the auditory scanning.
Now the first scan group is ready. Repeat this
step and use the name Row2 and click on the
buttons in the second row. Repeat step this for
Row3 and Row4
