2.Choose Emulate, and click OK.

3.Choose an emulation file to open, and click OK. The file DEMO.MTX provides a sample of a completed matrix setup. The file NEW.INI provides a blank setup to get you started.

4.Enter the file name under which you want to save any changes to the file, and click OK.

5.Select the number of video boards, audio boards, and the matrix model for which you are preparing a configuration, and click OK.

6.Continue using the program as described in steps 3 through 5, starting on page 5-2.

Button-Label Generator

The program is contained on the same set of 3.5-inch diskettes as the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program and is installed automatically when you install that program.

2.Under System selection, choose Mtrx50/MAV/XPoint.

3.Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print labels that can be placed in the label windows on the front panel of the switcher.
