7.6 Group Views
Groups may be viewed in two principal formats: list and console. The list view is the most
comprehensive of the views. It shows the channel name, amplifier address, current gain
(including mute/solo indicators) and amplifier faults. The other four views are console-like
control views where each channel is represented by a vertically oriented module. They range
from having all controls and readouts to just the VU and temperature readouts.
Group List View & the Plan Inventory
The most comprehensive view a group window can display is the list view. This is also the
only view the Plan Inventory offers. Each device appears as a separate line with an icon rep-
resenting the type of device, its name, any relevant parameters, any faults, and the address.
The following example has a group entitled “Stage Right.” Stage Right is a group contain-
ing the B channels of three CKS series amplifiers and their corresponding sequential turn-
on devices. The figure below breaks down the components of the list view.
