9926-xHtoS Function Menu List and Descriptions

Table 3-1 individually lists and describes each 9926-xHtoS function menu 
and its related list selections, controls, and parameters. Where helpful, 
examples showing usage of a function are also provided. Table 3-1 is 
primarily based upon using DashBoard™ to access each function and its 
corresponding menus and parameters.

Note:

UI depictions in this section show 4-path model 9926-4HtoS. Model 
9926-2HtoS has identical controls, but limited to 2-path I/O and path controls.

On DashBoard™ itself and in Table 3-1, the function menu items are 
organized using tabs as shown below.

The table below provides a quick-reference to the page numbers where each 
function menu item can be found.

Some functions use Subtabs to help maintain clarity and organization. In these instances, 
Table 3-1 shows the ordinate tab along with its subtabs. Highlighted subtabs indicate that 
controls described are found by selecting this subtab (in this example, the Status subtab 
on the Output Audio tab/page).
