Presets can be run from G-Ware or the front panel controls on the XAP 400. You can also program external control devices (such as AMX or Crestron, ClearOne Control Panels, XAP IR Remote, and GPIO devices) or use macros to run presets. See Chapter 6: Control for more information on creating custom control.

To run a preset using G-Ware

1.Select the Execute Preset button on the G-Ware toolbar.

2.Select the preset you want to execute from the Preset list.

2.Scroll to the preset number you want to run and press Enter.

Running multiple presets simultaneously

To run multiple presets at the same time, you need to create macros (see page 67). A macro is a series of commands which can be executed from G-Ware or by using any external control device. Typically you will create a macro for each configuration or group of presets you want to run at the same time. This ability to run multiple presets is critical in applications such as room combining. However, not only do you need to be able to run multiple presets simultaneously, you also need to be able to change presets without affecting other presets.

In order for this to happen, the system needs to know which presets have been run and shouldn’t be rerun and which ones are ready to run. You supply the system with this information by setting the state (or flag) of the preset when creating the command line in the macro. The three options are:

0 = to set the state to off

1 = to execute the preset and set the state to on 2 = to execute the preset and set the state to off
