Defining Routable Logic Functions
Mapped logic and Logic I/O Only signals rely on common function names as
a way of “knowing” which physical logic inputs need to control which physical
logic outputs. When you map logic signals to an audio signal or create “logic only”
signals using the Signal Definitions form, you must provide a unique logic
Function for each LIO# enabled. When you make a crosspoint between a source
and destination, the software checks the list of logic functions associated with the
source against the list of logic functions associated with the destination and cross
connects any logic signals with the same “Logic I/O Type” name.
Logic functions are created from the Logic I/O Types form. Up to 100 logic
functions may be defined. First, open the Signal Definitions form by right clicking
on a source or destination signal in the GUI’s main grid, then click on one of the
two Logic I/O tabs, then click on the “Define ” button in the lower right corner to
open the Logic I/O Types form shown at the right.
• ID - static value from 1 to 100 , cannot be changed. Use
the up /down arrows to scroll to the desired function
number.
• Name - Be sure to assign each function a unique name to
avoid potential confusion when mapping logic functions.
Names may be up to 8 characters long.
• Precedence - always set to “Controller” for logic card
applications. “Device” setting is reserved for future use.
• Disconnected Output State - Choose the desired state to
leave the output in when this function is disconnected.
Choices are OFF (open), ON (closed) or Current Value
(last known state). OFF is must often the correct
choice.
Viewing Defined Logic Signals
The “Logic IO Properties” form provides a way to
quickly determine which logic signals have been
assigned to a particular logic card and if any spare
logic ports are available.
Select the Configure / Rack Defs... menu option
to view a given rack. You may now query any logic
card by right clicking on its location. A form similar
to the one on the right will be displayed. The “Asso-
ciated With Xpoint” tab displays all mapped and
routable logic signals on the card. The “Directly
Triggered” tab displays all of the Triggered Port
assignments on the card.
