Output Offset
In matrix space, the amount by which the origin of a component on strobe x, is offset from the
origin of strobe x, measured along the output axis.
The coordinates of crosspoints in matrix space are determined by the strobe they reside on, and
their input and output numbers. They are given in the form (input,output) on strobe x. The origin
of a component (a matrix of crosspoints) is designated by the point which falls nearest the origin
of its Strobe (1,1). In Figure A below, the 3x4 Component bounded by coordinates (3,2), (5,2),
(5,5), and (3,5) has its origin at (3,2).
Figure A
Output offset is the amount by which the origin of a component is offset from the origin of its
strobe, measured along the output axis. A component whose origin coincides with that of its strobe
(1,1) will have an output offset of 0. The component shown in Figure A above, has an output
offset of 1.
When multiple routing switchers are assigned to the same strobe, the input and output connectors
are renumbered to provide a unique coordinate for each crosspoint. Crosspoint coordinates are
then determined in the same manner as above. The component shown in Figure B below, has its
origin at (12,7) and an output offset of 6.
