Intuition XG’s Desktop Applications & Tools
Device Manager
As the intermediary between the automation system and the Intuition XG device, Xplay
must establish a connection directly with the Intuition XG device. This connection is defined
by adding the Intuition XG device to Xplay’s
Device Manager
(figure

). The Device
Manager is accessed by selecting Xplay’s

menu command.
