Launch Behavior
Click
Launch
(see Preset List Controls on page 97) to activate a previously saved
preset. Launching a preset causes the configuration of the devices to change according
to the device attributes and connections specified in the preset. Until launched, the
Preset List
defaults each preset to
Stop
.
In general, presets operate independently of each other. When a preset launches, devices
in the preset are configured according to the attributes and connections of the preset
regardless of their previous mode and operation. No other devices in the system are
affected.
When the same devices are used in multiple presets, device operation is defined by the
configuration and connections made in the last preset launched.
Switcher Launch Behavior
When a switching preset is launched, attributes for each device in the preset are
changed according to the device attributes saved in the preset (see
Device Attributes
on page 101). The connections between the devices are then made according to the
diagrams in the
Preset design workspace (see Preset Design Panel on page 100).
Recorder Launch Behavior
The Launch Status in the Device Attribute panel (see
Device Attributes
on
page 101) is available for presets that contain recorder or player devices. A recorder preset
follows the same behavior as a switcher, first changing attributes which include creating
recording directories and files, then making connections. The recording action provides a
transport bar to monitor operation (see
Transport Bar Shortcut
on page 130). Playback
behavior first selects the location of the playback files, then begins playback according to
the launch state selection.
The behavior defines the recorder or player actions when launched, specifically when a new
preset uses a device active in another preset. Specific behavior is described in the following
tables.

whether they are present in the active preset or not.
