Thanks Mark. I didn't see the warning note.
Best wishes

The BCR2000 does allow you to PROGRAM the "fancy" LED settings (Bar, Spread etc.) for ANY encoder, but these fancy settings only WORK for the 8 push encoders, not for the 24 "simple" encoders.
So this is why BC Manager's encoder dialog box says "Warning: this setting only works for push encoders" if you define a fancy setting for a simple encoder.
If I remember correctly, someone in this forum once wrote that this limitation was built into the BCR2000 because the LEDs' power consumption would be too big if they could all be lit simultaneously.
Mark.
