Figure 6: The main screen
The main screen (figure 6) shows the current state of the matrix port connections and the
mode of operation. Letters from A to H represent matrix column ports and letters I to P represent
matrix row ports. Horizontal and vertical lines show the signal paths between column and row ports.
The connection between horizontal and vertical signal paths is marked by a square point on line
crossing. The signal paths crossings without a square point mean that there is no connection. To
modify matrix connection status tap on the column or row ports marked by arrow on figure 6.
Depending on the row or column selection the list of row or column ports will be displayed (figure
7). Tap on the port name to modify matrix signal path. The next screen lists all connections to the
selected port. Highlighted port means that the port is connected. Buttons with no fill mean that the
port is disconnected. Changing the port status is done by taping the button with the port letter. The
update of internal switches is done immediately after the button is released. The allowed port
connection number is dependent on the selected switching mode. To return to the main screen
select the Return
key
. To select different master port to modify tap on Back button.
