RESETS
The Vortex supports 16 factory presets (meaning they can’t be overwritten by the
user) and 32 user presets. These presets store
all
information about the settings for
the device: input gains, matrix crosspoints, automixer settings, etc. Everything.
Changes to the device’s settings are not automatically saved in the preset -- you must
save your changes to the preset by clicking on the S
AVE
button. Each preset can have
a 16 character label. The user can S
AVE
the current settings as a preset at any time or
R
ESTORE
a different preset at any time. Restoring a preset will send all the status
messages to the RS-232 interface so an attached control panel will remain synchro-
nized with the device. The user may also configure which preset is used when the
device powers up using the P
OWER
O
N
P
RESET
parameter at the top right of the page.
The D
ELETE
button can be used to erase a preset.
M
ACROS
You can create up to 256 macros. Each macro can have up to 256 single commands
that are executed sequentially when the macro is executed. The user selects a macro
to create and then sequentially puts the commands into the macro.
New commands may be inserted into the macro after the existing command by right
clicking on an existing command and selecting either a command off the list or the
I
NSERT
C
OMMAND
option which will let you type a command in directly. You can
also add new commands to the macro by typing the RS-232 command strings directly
into the text box.
To change the order of the command in the macro, choose either M
