Running presets
Presets can be run from G-Ware or the front panel controls on the XAP 800. 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.
3. Click Execute to run the preset and close the window.

To run a preset using front panel control

1. From the System Menu, scroll to
Select Preset
and press
Enter
.
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 63). 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

It is also possible to assign

states to presets when

creating Remote Panel,

serial, or GPIO control. However,

unless you create macros, you will

only be able to run one preset at a

time.
