7.For the first switch, click the source channel (input) and one or more destination channels (outputs). Select multiple destination channels by holding down the Control key while selecting the channels.

The Assignment column shows three switches that will be executed as part of Preset 2:

Input 2 to Output 5 Input 3 to Output 6 Input 7 to Output 8

The Disconnected Channels box shows that Output 1 will be disconnected as part of Preset 2.

8.Click the Assign Switch button.

The input appears in the Assignment column of the Destination Channels list; the switch will execute when the local preset is executed.

9.Disconnect inputs* or outputs as part of the local preset by selecting either the source or destination channel and clicking the Disconnect button.

The input or output appears in its corresponding Disconnected Channels list; the input or output will be disconnected when the local preset is executed.

10.Repeat Steps 7, 8, and 9 for all switches and/or disconnects to be included in the preset.

Note: For information on the other buttons and preset modifications, press F1 while the Manage Local Presets dialog box is open.

11.After all switches for the preset have been assigned, click OK and then close the Manage Local Presets dialog box.

12.Define additional local presets by repeating the steps.

13.Load the .xcl configuration file onto the system (see page 54): see Caution below.

If the .xcl configuration file has already been loaded to the system and local presets are the only modifications that have been made to the .xcl file, select “Configure All VM Local Presets” (found under Configure \ Configure Special – Virtual Matrix).

14.Using Save As (under the File menu), make a duplicate copy of the modified file with a new name and save it to the PC. (We strongly recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)

Caution: The system must not be actively switching when loading this information onto the system.

* Disconnecting an input will disconnect all outputs it is connected to.
