Multiple Signal Paths
In Modula systems, each matrix is a signal path. When you select a connector in the virtual matrix view,
the properties box in the right pane indicates the signal and the signal path for the connector. If the signal
has multiple signal paths (e.g., component signals), each of the signals will be displayed and each signal
path will display an appended number. In the example shown (FIG. 103), the connector for input six
contains two signal paths for an S-Video signal:
S-VidV_IN_006.1 for the “Y” signal path
S-VidV_IN_006.2 for the “c” signal path
Modifying a Configuration File
Modifying a configuration file with XNConnect involves entering information in a field or in a series of
dialog boxes. A brief look at the contents in the Help file provides a quick overview of the possible
modifications.
This section provides instructions for two common tasks: modifying channel names and configuring
local presets. For complete coverage of configuration related tasks, see the XNConnect Help file.
Modifying Source and Destination Channel Names
If the system is using APWeb for control, the names for the source and destination channels displayed in
the XBar can be customized in XNConnect. The custom names (labels) can be up to 23 characters and
cannot contain the following characters: ‘ “ \ = ? < >
If your system has a graphical front panel (such as a CP-20A), the names for the source and destination
channels displayed on the LCD can be customized in XNConnect.
For more information on channel names and description parameters, see the XNConnect Help file.
