Newbie I-PAC VE questions

There aren't any. The C and D inputs on the VE can't be programmed in panel designer, but can be in keycodes mode. I am fairly sure the software will be updated when the 36-input encoder is introduced.
Grasshopper:
One further thing, even if new software enables all 36 inputs to be programmed, it would still make sense for the shared inputs to be assigned to the buttons that are least likely to be used.
IIRC on standards Ipacs, one of the LEDs is shared with player 1 button 7, and many panels use that button.
OK, you can ignore Ultimarc's button labelling system (as I did) but it's nice to stick with it if possible.

Am I misunderstanding the previous posts?
I thought you said the A & B inputs correspond to SW7 and SW8. I assumed by this you were saying that they could not be programmed independently of the SW7 and SW8 inputs using current software but from the hardware perspective are actually separate inputs. Or are you actually saying they are electronically equivalent to the SW7 and SW8 inputs?

They are electronically equivalent. The I-pac/2 is 28 inputs - 2 joysticks, 16 buttons and four admin buttons. The VE adds inputs C and D (four more inputs for 32 total), but also re-names buttons 7 and 8 as A and B.
Grasshopper:
I see. That's a pity.
It's odd though that Andy has changed the labelling system.
