CP-15 Instruction Manual
Verifying Signal Status
Signal status can be verified to confirm that a switch has executed properly or to confirm correct routing
to multiple outputs (destinations). Input status and output status both function on the CP-15 Control
Panel. An output can only be connected to one input (source); therefore, verifying the status of an output
will illuminate only the one input it is currently connected to. Verifying an input will illuminate all
outputs currently receiving the input’s signal.
The advantage of using Status Mode (instead of Change Mode, which also indicates routing) is that
status is verified without the risk of inadvertently executing unwanted switches.
Once the CP-15 is in Status Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected by pressing the corresponding
Input and Output Keys without changing the routing state. The CP-15 stays in Status Mode until the
Function Key is pressed.
If you need to change the virtual matrix, see “Changing the Virtual Matrix” on page 9.
You can return to the Function menu at any time by pressing the Function Key.
To verify the status of a signal:
1.
