To change the function of a momentary button:

2 In the Layout Inspector, choose either Single Value or Alternating Value from the Type
pop-up menu.
Choose Single Value if you want the button to function as a single value button, or

button. You cannot change the function of a single value or alternating value button to
match the function of a momentary button.
