Power-up

When the ECP 1000 is powered up, the following events occur:

•All lights on the ECP 1000 front panel turn on and then off, in sequence.

•The ECP 1000 detects the number of SGS 408 units that are connected.

•The buttons that are programmed to work with the number of connected SGS 408 units become backlit. For example, if SGS 408 units are attached to SGS ports 1 and 3, all screen effect buttons that are programmed to work with 1 or 2 screens become backlit, as do screen selection buttons 1 and 3.

•The LCD displays the name of the product, and then displays the attached screens (based on the connected ports) and the default effect duration (figure 3-2). This second screen is the default screen.
