Using the GUI to Control the 1RU Commander G3
The TLG3 GUI can be used to navigate codec menus and it can also adjust all
the level setting and other key functions that are available on a physical front
panel. This can be done easily with a mouse connected to your PC and by using
several keys on your keyboard.
In essence, the functionality of the GUI is very similar to a rack unit codec front
panel, so check the reference manual for the model of codec you are using for
details of operation. Buttons when clicked on or adjusted respond in a similar
fashion to a ‘physical’ front panel. Menu structures are exactly the same. The
H/PHONE
output and
MIC
input on the GUI don’t have any functionality
currently.

Changing PPM Meters, Audio Levels and Input On/Off
When changing the metering of the PPMs, press the

button
once to illuminate and activate it and then toggle the
AUDIO SELECT
button
below each PPM until the selection you require
appears. Press the

button again to
deselect it once you have finished programming the
meters. These buttons appear as light blue when
they have been pressed and are active.
To change audio levels and input on/off settings simple press the
AUDIO
SELECT
button below the channel PPM you wish to adjust for two seconds
until it illuminates purple. This activates the button and displays that channel’s

required.
Press the
