In the CCP software, what is the difference between:

"repeat" and "Minimum Repeat when pressed"?

This is found in the data section when you click on the button properties.

Why would you uncheck "repeat when button is pressed"?

Also when I change the values and hit the OK button on the buttom, it does not save it and let me exit the screen to proceed. I just hit ok and it stays up.

Its "learned" data vs a code so I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I tried other learned buttons and it worked on them. Just not this particular one.

i have read the manual a bunch of times and it still does not make sense to me. I learn best with analogies and examples so if you could provide some, it would be much appreciated.

I don't know for sure, I just assumed that unchecking "repeat" meant that I would get one action sent when the button was pressed and no repeating if I held it down.

I also assume that minimum repeat was that if I pressed the button I would get that many actions even for one press. Actually that doesn't seem to make sense. :|

Correct

That's right as well. If you have a device that's very sensitive you can lower repeats to 1 or if needed, raise repeats. I've had devices that have needed 6+ repeats on some commands to work reliably.

I've also had to bump repeats up to 4 or 5 to get them to work on macros. They would work on a actual button press (at the default 3) but would either be inconsistent or not work at all on a macro until the repeats were bumped up to 4 or 5. Doesn't really make sense but it does help to know this.
