7.4 Group
An output group is made up of output points that have been programmed to respond in the same way. Output
groups simplify programming because you only have to program the output characteristics that are common to
all of the group points once, instead of programming each individual point. Once you have defined the
characteristics of output groups, you can assign each point to the appropriate group. All valid output points are
assigned to only one output group. Unused points are not assigned to any output group. Up to 250 output groups
can be defined.
Each output group is defined as either a voice output group or a non-voice output group. Output points that are
audio circuits (all circuits on the EVS-50W, EVS-INT50W, EVS-100W, EVS-125W and EVS-CE4) can only be
assigned to voice output groups. Output points that are non-voice circuits (all other points and circuits that are on
all modules except the EVS-50W, EVS-INT50W, EVS-100W, EVS-125W and EVS-CE4) are assigned to non-
voice output groups.
