Linkage 

The “Linkage” button will cause the software to re-read the active Input and Output routes 
on the matrix switch. You may need to use this if you have made changes to the matrix 
switch by some method other than the control software. 
 

Open/Close 

The “Open” and “Close” buttons are used to open and close the COM port or Ethernet 
connection to the matrix switch. 

 
Mapping 

The “Mapping” button provides an alternate method for selecting the Outputs you wish to 
begin connecting your Input to. 
 

 

Choose the “Select All Output” menu item then 
select an Input from the Input Selection Area 
on the left side to send that Input to all 
Outputs. 

 

Choose the “Unselect All Output” menu item to 
de-select all currently selected Outputs from 
the currently selected Input. 

 

Choose one of the “Select Input n” menu items 
to make that Input your active input. Then 
select all of the Outputs you wish to send that 
Input to from the list of Outputs in the Output 
Selection Area on the right side. 

 
Fast Select 

The “Fast Select” drop down allows you to quickly route single Inputs to single Outputs   
(1:1 mapping) or a single Input to all Outputs. 
 

 

Choose the “Input Num - Output Num” menu 
item to set each Input to route to the Output of 
the same number. (Input 1 to Output 1, Input 2 
to Output 2, etc.) 

 

Choose one of the “Input n - All Output” menu 
items to send the selected Input to all
