The zoom function:
Allows you to adjust the system diagram size to suit the complexity of the system on your
PC display. The ‘-‘ and ‘+’ buttons will decrease or increase the zoom in increments of 25%.
Alternatively you can use the drop-down box to select either 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 125%,
150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 600% or 800%. Particularly useful are ‘Page’ which will zoom to
the maximum size that the page will allow, ‘Width’ which will zoom to the maximum width of the
diagram and ‘Height’ which will maximise the size to fit the height of the diagram.
Mute is essentially an “emergency” function if something is causing severe noise through the
system you can click on the mute button:
This will bring up the following window:
As you can see it is a very drastic measure which will shut down the entire system which is why
it should be considered as an emergency measure only and not an everyday means for muting
the system. If you are sure you wish to proceed you can select ‘Yes’ if not click on ‘No’ and the
window will disappear, the audio will remain routed. This function mutes every input and output
on connected Merlins and every zone on all arrays. Once used there is no global un-mute, all
Merlins and arrays will have to be individually un-muted. Note that Show Modes does not change
operation of the System Mute, the confirmation window will always appear.
Our advice is never to leave a system muted within Vu-Net, always use a mute that can be
defeated manually such as a Merlin output. If a system has been muted within Vu-Net and
for some reason you lose network connectivity you will be unable to un-mute and will have an
unusable system!
