Using emulation mode

Using emulation mode

Emulation mode allows you to set up the software without attaching the switcher to a computer. To use emulation mode, do the following:

1.Double-click on the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program icon (shown at left) in the Extron Electronics group or folder.

2.Choose Emulate, and click OK.

3.Choose an emulation file to open, and click OK. The file DEMO.MTX provides a sample of a completed matrix setup. The file NEW.INI provides a blank setup to get you started.

4.Enter the file name under which you want to save any changes to the file, and click OK.

5.Select the number of video boards, audio boards, and the matrix model for which you are preparing a configuration, and click OK.

6.Continue using the program as described in steps 3 through 5, starting on page 5-2.

Using the help system

For information about program features, you can access the help program in any of the following ways:

•From the Extron Electronics program folder or group, double-click on the Matrix Switcher Help icon (shown at left).

•From within the Matrix Switcher Control Program, click on the Help menu on the main screen.

•From within the Matrix Switcher Control Program, press the F1 key.

Button-Label Generator

The program is contained on the same set of 3.5-inch diskettes as the Matrix Switcher+ Control Program and is installed automatically when you install that program.

By default, the Windows installation goes in the C:\BUTTONS directory, and the Button-Label Generator icon is placed in the “Extron Electronics” group or folder.

Using the software

1.To run the Button-Label Generator program, double-click on the Button-Label Generator icon (shown at left) in the Extron Electronics group or folder, and click OK when prompted. The Extron’s Button- Label Generator window appears (figure 5-3).

2.Under System selection, choose Mtrx50/MAV/XPoint.

3.Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print labels that can be placed in the label windows on the front panel of the switcher.

For information about using the program, you can access the help program by clicking on the Help menu on the main screen and choosing Show Help.
