Octaire Control Panel Operation

Verifying Signal Status

Signal status can be verified to confirm that a switch has executed properly or to confirm correct routing to multiple outputs (destinations). Verifying an input will illuminate all outputs currently receiving the input's signal. An output can only be connected to one input (source); therefore, verifying the status of an output will illuminate only the one input that is currently routed to it.

The status of inputs or outputs can be checked using the Octaire Control Panel. Once the Control Panel is in Status Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected by pressing the corresponding Input and Output Keys without changing the routing state. The panel stays in Status Mode until the Function Key is pressed.

To verify signal status on a different routing level, see “Changing Virtual Matrices (Routing Levels)” on page 48.

To verify the status of a signal:

1.Press the Function Key.

The Function menu appears.

2.Locate Status by scrolling with the Control Dial.

3.Press the Select Key.

The system is in Status Mode (all available Input and Output Keys turn blue).

Status: Audio Press I/O Key

Routing level

4.Press the Input Key that corresponds to the input you want to check.

The selected Input Key turns white, and any Output Keys receiving the input signal also turn white. Or press the Output Key that corresponds to the output you want to check.

The selected Output Key turns white, and any Input Key routed to it also turns white.

5.Select another signal to verify.

Or press the Function Key to return to the Function menu.
