Control Matrix
7.1
Introduction
The Control Matrix is a tabular method of
defining which inputs that have given a fire
indication activate which outputs.
The Control Matrix can have up to 512 entries,
one per line.
If the event matches more than one <input>
definition, all corresponding <output>s operate
in parallel.
Note
: Certain rules apply where there may be
a decision conflict - see
Section 7.4
