Icons in I/O boxes — Erases any numbers in the I/O boxes in the ties-as-lines window (figure 5-2). You can place icons in the boxes.

Numbers in I/O boxes — Erases any icons in the I/O boxes in the ties-as-lines window and fills each box with the associated input or output number.

Using emulation mode

Emulation mode allows you to set up the software without attaching the switcher to the computer. To use emulation mode, do the following:

1.Double-click on the MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder.

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. Selecting the file NEW.INI or clicking Cancel 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 matrix model for which you are preparing a configuration, and click OK.

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