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). Verifying an input will illuminate all outputs currently receiving the
input's signal. An output can only be connected to one input (source); therefore, verifying the status of an
output will illuminate only the one input that is currently routed to it.
The status of inputs or outputs can be checked using the Octaire Control Panel. Once the Control Panel is
in Status Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected by pressing the corresponding Input and Output Keys
without changing the routing state. The panel stays in Status Mode until the Function Key is pressed.
To verify signal status on a different routing level, see “Changing Virtual Matrices (Routing Levels)” on
page 48.
To verify the status of a signal:
1.
Press the Function Key.
The Function menu appears.
2. Locate Status by scrolling with the Control Dial.
3.
Press the Select Key.
The system is in Status Mode (all available Input and Output Keys turn blue).
4. Press the Input Key that corresponds to the input you want to check.
The selected Input Key turns white, and any Output Keys receiving the input signal also turn white.
Or press the Output Key that corresponds to the output you want to check.
The selected Output Key turns white, and any Input Key routed to it also turns white.
5. Select another signal to verify.
Or press the Function Key to return to the Function menu.
