Software-Based Muting
Software-based muting is controlled by a single parameter that overrides all other muting
controls: the Mute Command parameter. If Mute Command is set to 1 then the ATOM
Series device will be muted. If the Mute Command signal is set to 0 then the device will
be unmuted (assuming it is not muted by hardware or by faults). By default, the Mute
Command parameter is set to 0.
ATOMControl shows all of the values relevant to software-based muting in the bottom-
left groupbox in the Mute tab in the Controls section of the User Interface. The value of
the Mute Command parameter is displayed along with a button that allows the Mute
Command value to be toggled between 0 and 1. Figure 8 below shows the software-
based muting controls:
