Introduction

Overview

The AMX UniMount Mini-SoftWire Panels (AXU-MSP) are microprocessor-
controlled pushbutton display units that can be programmed to control a wide
variety of equipment connected to an AXCESS system. The AXU-MSP series include
the AXU-MSP8, AXU-MSP16, AXU-MSP24, AXU-MSP32. The AXM-MSP32, which
contains the same pushbutton and bargraph configuration as the AXU-MSP32, can
be mounted into a 19-inch rack. This guide contains front and rear panel illustration
examples, programming instructions, installation procedures, panel specifications,
OLDesign overview, and technical support information. Figure 1 shows a sample
AXU-MSP8 panel.
