Naming inputs and outputs

 

 

Only personnel logged in as administrators can name video and audio inputs

 

 

and outputs.

 

 

Change the input or output name from the I/O Physical Connectors screen as

follows:

 

 

1.

Use the slide bar to scroll through the valid inputs or outputs until the screen

 

displays the virtual input or virtual output you wish to name.

3.

Touch the Name field of the virtual input or output name that you wish to

 

edit. The on-screen keyboard appears.

 

 

4.

Touch the keyboard's Clear Field key

and then enter a name (up to 12

 

characters).

 

 

5.

Touch the on-screen keyboard's Enter key to accept the name and

 

dismiss the keyboard from the display.

 

 

 

Or, touch the on-screen keyboard's Cancel key

to dismiss the keyboard

 

without accepting the name change.

 

 

Calibrate TouchScreen button

Only personnel logged in as administrators can calibrate the touch panel.

The Calibrate TouchScreen button provides a tool for calibrating the touch panel. Calibrate the touch panel by touching the blue Admin > purple Misc > gray

Calibrate TouchScreen buttons. Follow the on-screen directions in the Calibrate routine. This screen times out after 30 seconds of non- operation and the FPC returns to the Miscellaneous screen.

Use a pencil eraser or other small, soft, object to touch the Calibrate routine’s touch points. Touch each point directly in the center. If you miss the center, the touch panel’s calibration will be offset and it will become more difficult to touch the correct areas on the touch panel, especially small targets, such as radio buttons.

Re-Install FPC Software button

Only personnel logged in as administrators can install FPC firmware.

The Re-Install FPC Software button provides a way to re-install or upgrade the FPC software. Upgrade the software by touching the blue Admin > purple Misc > gray

Re-Install FPC Software buttons and following the on-

screen directions. See Upgrading the Controller Software, in chapter 2, Installation and Operation.

Setup Screens

The Setup family of screens include the functions that are typically done once when initially setting up the Matrix 12800 system or are done to reset elements of the system. The family consists of the Delay screen (the default), the Audio screen, and

the Reset screen. The Delay screen, Audio screen, and most of the resets are reserved to personnel logged on as administrators rather than users. Users can view, but not change these settings.
