Info,” “Version Manager,” and “Config Manager.” They provide lots of functions and
information about the particular BLADE. Again, more on this later.
Of course, if you now click on a different BLADE in the system pane, the main
window will show you nine more tabs representing the BLADE you just clicked on.
In this manner you can look at/work on each individual BLADE in the system. Now
go back and click on the system icon in the system pane and select the System
Crosspoint tab. Click on one of the destination signal names along the left side of the
grid and notice the information that appears in the “Details” pane. Essentially
everything you would like to know about that signal appears in the Details pane: what
its name and ID are, what BLADE it’s in, what mode it is, which jacks it uses, what
source is crosspoint connected to it, and more. Each time you click on a source or
destination name, its information is reflected in this Details pane.
Finally note the Alarms pane normally located just below the system pane. The
Alarms pane is a text area that shows a message whenever an alarm function, such as
Silence Detection on a particular output, happens.
The System pane, Alarms pane, and Details pane are all scrollable and resizeable
in typical Windows fashion.
You can also drag and relocate
them on the screen, or dock
them back to their default locations using the dock buttons along the top of the screen.
In addition to the System, Alarms,
and Detail dock buttons, the top of the
screen contains buttons for Set Up View,
XPoint, and About WheatNet-IP. These
buttons activate navigation shortcuts that will take you to some commonly used areas
of the Navigator GUI program.
In the WheatNet-IP system, the mechanism for showing a subset of all of the system
audio signals is called filtering. You can specify certain search criteria or functions, and
the software will restrict the crosspoint grid to show only those signals that fit the
criteria. In a large system with hundreds or even thousands of signals, filtering is a way
to reduce the amount of scrolling you need to do while navigating on the crosspoint
grid. Some common filters might be “show only the signals in BLADEs 2 and 14,” or
“show me only my mono signals,” or “show me only logic signals.” As you might
expect, you can combine the criteria to create a complex search that significantly
reduces the number of signals that meet it.
