MULTITASKER
Matrix Configuration Definitions:
Matrix ID: A total of 9 matrix configurations may be defined in a single engine. Once saved, the configuration may be recalled by number without having to redefine the settings.
Number of Inputs: The number of inputs in the configuration, or eight times the number of input cards installed, is the maximum.
If the channel width and spacing are different, then the number of inputs will be lower. For example, in a 32X32 matrix with a width of 4 and a spacing of 7, the number of inputs would be 8. See Example 1 in this section for specifics.
Number of Outputs: Same as for Inputs.
Input Offset: The offset defines where Input #1 will be in reference to Input #1 on the Input Connector Card. Typically, Input #1 would be Input #1 of the base card. However, an offset of 8 will make Input #1 start at the actual Input #9.
Output Offset: Same as for Input Offset.
Channel Width: The number of signals per channel. The default width is one.
Channel Spacing: The default spacing is zero. When dealing with
Matrix Assembly Layout:
Input cards count from the main Input Connector Card,
Output cards count from the main Output Connector Card,
The following table illustrates the card and channel numbering. The channel numbering is based upon the default configuration. The default configuration is configured as a 64X64 Matrix with the following settings:
Number of Inputs = 64
Number of Outputs = 64
Input Offset = 00
Output Offset = 00
Channel Width = 01
Channel Spacing = 00

Example 1: [MAT1;08;08;00;00;04;07;C8S]
Inputs = 08
Outputs = 08
Input Offset = 00
Output Offset = 00
Width = 04
Spacing = 07
In the charts below, the cards are in groups of four to help illustrate channel width.
In this configuration, if Input 1 is connected to Output 8, the entire channel, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d, will be switched to outputs 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d respectively.
