Starting the control program
Many items found in the VTG 400 Control Program are also accessible via top
panel controls and the LCD menus described in chapter 2. Refer to chapter 2 for
details on features and settings. The VTG 400 Help Program provides
information on settings and on how to use the control program itself.
Some features, including the miscellaneous options, are only available via this
control program. These features are described in the sections of this chapter that
correspond to the parts of the control program where the features are found.
1. To run the control program, double-click on the VTG 400 Control Program
icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder. The Comm Port Selection
dialog box appears on the screen. From the “Connect Using” drop-down
list box, select RS-232 serial port.
The VTG Control Program may also be run using previously saved
configuration files generated by the Control Program by selecting
Emulation Mode. See Using the emulation mode, later in this chapter.
2. Click on the COMM port that is connected to the VTG’s RS-232 port. The
Extron VTG Control Program window appears, as shown in the following
illustration. The top menu bar consists of five drop-down menus:
• File menu
• Video menu
• Audio menu
• Options menu
• Help menu
The Video menu appears only when the vertical Video tab is selected.
There are three vertical tabs available:
• Video tab
• Audio tab
• Scope-Trigger tab
The Video screen, shown below, is the default window when the Control
Program opens.
