Modula Instruction Manual
Executing a Test Switch
Execute a test switch to verify the system is working properly before attaching all inputs and outputs.
Aside from having signal cables (and a controller if applicable) attached, the system is ready to execute
switches when it ships from the factory.
The first two source and destination devices must be attached to the input and output connectors as
indicated in the “AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide” that is shipped with each system (for specific
board connector information and specifications, see the specific board chapter in this manual). After the
devices are connected, power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the devices before executing a
test switch.
Note:
If the signal from the source or destination device is a component signal that requires being
attached to multiple input or output connectors (e.g., an RGsB signal that requires three
connectors), all of the signal cables for that signal must be attached before executing the test switch.
A test switch can be executed from the following:
A front or remote control panel
AMX control device
AMX control software, such as, APControl 3.0 or APWeb
BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller
An external third-party controller
Executing a Test Switch
Before executing the test switch
, make sure the first two source devices and the first two destination
devices are connected to the input and output connectors exactly as shown on the “AutoPatch Modula
Connector Guide” that is shipped with each system. Depending on the signal type (e.g., component
signals), you may need to attach multiple input and output cables.
When executing a test switch
, we suggest routing Input (source) 1 to Output (destination) 2 on the
virtual matrix or level indicated on the “AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide.”
Control Panel
Directions for executing switches using the control panel specific to your system can be found in the
applicable control panel instruction manual on the
AMX AutoPatch CD
or at
www.amx.com
. Depending
on the control panel, the term
virtual matrix
or
level
may appear on the LCD screen. When controlling a
Modula, these terms are interchangeable.
AMX Control Device
For executing and disconnecting switches using an AMX control device, see the specific control device
documentation.
APControl 3.0 or APWeb
Directions for executing and disconnecting switches using APControl 3.0 are found in its Help file.
For directions for executing switches using APWeb, see the
APWeb
documentation.
