on the left.
• Select a source type and source from the lists on the right.
• Highlight the selected source and click on the double-arrow (<<) button
next to the desired loudspeaker feed in the Selection boxes. The source
name will appear in the selected location. Once a key is selected, its name
may be changed using the Display Name field.
• Repeat these steps to complete the necessary assignments. Once finished,
the new file can be saved and applied to the console.
Please note that the edited file must be applied to the console before it takes
effect.

Config Dump: This action will create a copy of the current monitor configuration file and
place it in the

MONCON-
FIGDUMP.DAT
and is useful for troubleshooting. In this status this file is not
executable since it does not have a
*.ini
extension. However, it does contain
all the parameter settings and other information.
