Channel Selection
If the Up/Down buttons of a PWS-4 shall serve to set different parameters, switching between parameters is
accomplished using the BUTTON TYPE Channel Selection.
The following example for the usage of the BUTTON TYPE Channel Selection shows how to configure the buttons of a
PWS-4 so that the Up/Down buttons can be used to individually control the volume setting for announcements and
background music. Therefore, it is assumed that the IRIS-Net project includes a NetMax N8000 with a 2x1 monaural
mixer. Announcements shall be fed to input 1 and the background music to input 2. The two upper buttons of the PWS-
4 are to be used to select the desired signal (i.e. the corresponding mixer input) and the Up/Down buttons can be used
to control the volume setting of the selected input channel.
1.
Select “Configuration” from the contextual menu of the PWS Device in the IRIS-Net worksheet. The Configuration
dialog appears.
2.
Add a front unit of the type PWS-4 to the left-hand frame of the three-frame window of the Configuration Dialog.
Either use the “drag and drop” method to drag the PWS-4 out of the category Front Units of the PWS objects
library or select the entry “Add PWS-4” from the left-hand frame’s contextual menu in the window.

Select the first Control on the top of the added PWS-4 using the left mouse button. As an alternative, select the
Control by choosing the entry “Button 1” from the SELECT PWS CONTROL dropdown menu.

same button type is assigned to the second Control automatically.
