1: Installation and Quick Start Guide
Your 684 ControlPad or Bump Bar package should include the following items:
o Quick Start Guide
o Product CD
o Genovation 684 keypad with attached RS-232 cable (and optionally a 5v
DC adapter). The standard cable has a DB-9 connector. Other
connectors are available.
The MacroMaster684 configuration software is designed to work with computers
running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems (32-bit). The 684
keypad itself will work with any OS.
Install Software
Insert the CD into the target computer’s CD drive. If the Installation program
does not start immediately, navigate to the CD using Explorer and run Setup.exe.
You should see the following screen:
Click on Next as required and choose the path you would like to use for storing
the PC applications.

Install Hardware
You may plug in new hardware at any time. If you have not already
plugged in your 684 device, do so now. If supplied, plug the 5v DC
power adapter as well. It is recommend to configure (program) the
keypads with only one plugged in at time.
Set the COM Port
You will need to set the COM port so that the Windows PC can communicate
with the 684. This will allow the PC to communicate with the keypad in order to
configure it the way you want.
Run the MacroMaster684 application. Normally it is installed in the following path:
Start >> Programs >> Genovation >> MacroMaster684
You should see the following:

Select one of the No options followed by OK to dismiss the tutorial and then click
on Set Port.
Click on the “automatic” option (the top one) in SetPort and then OK.
SetPort will now start scanning your system COM ports for the 684. Once it
completes, your 684 COM port should be automatically selected. Click OK.
The COM Port number should appear at the top right of MacroMaster.

Test Keypad Connection
At the top right of MacroMaster684, click on Test. This will launch the key test
program.
If you click on Get Version, the 684 will respond with it’s version string. You may
also press the keys on the 684. You should see some characters appear in the
[Data from Keypad] area. Depending on what key codes have been
programmed, this information may appear as nonsense. Also if the baud rate
does not match between the keypad and the test program, you might see only
gibberish.

Restoring Factory Defaults
At any time your keypad can be returned to factory defaults. In order to wipe out
the user configuration, press and hold two key switches down while plugging
the keypad power in. Continue to hold them down until the keypad is
completely plugged in and then release the two keys. Note: If you have
double-width key caps, only hold one down.
Default684.ckd key table:
0xA1 0xA2
0xB1 0xB2
0xC1 0xC2
0xD1 0xD2
0xE1 0xE2
0xF1 0xF2
The Bump Bar version has 24 key switches under 12 double-wide key caps.
Only one of each pair of keys is programmed by default. You can choose the
codes you want on whatever keys you want. You may also move the key caps
around (E.g. make them vertical instead of horizontal).
Un-Installing and Re-Installing
It’s a quick and simple matter to remove, re-install or upgrade MacroMaster. To
un-install MacroMaster, click on:
Start >> Programs >> Genovation >> MacroMaster684 >> Uninstall MacroMaster684
The un-installer will NOT remove any macro files you have created. If you are not
installing a newer version, you may delete the macro files and directories
manually.
If you are installing a newer version (upgrading), your macro files will be saved
automatically for you.

2: Using MacroMaster68x
Running MacroMaster68x
To program the key codes or change the keypad properties such as baud rate,
use the MacroMaster application. To begin, click on the following (assumes
default installation directory):
Start >> Programs >> Genovation >> MacroMaster684 >> Genovation MacroMaster684
The title bar contains the name of the application and the name of the file that is
opened. If the file had been modified but not saved, a * character follows the
filename. The * will go away once the file is saved or a new file is loaded.
