Testing Input/Output Switching ‘Takes’
How to Test Mono Switching Configurations
1 Launch UniConfig. (See Launching UniConfig on page 9.)
2 Select a control card. (See Selecting a Control Card on page 10.)
3 From the menu bar, select ‘Window > Connections’. The ‘Connections’ window appears with
blank fields. (See Figure 10-6 on page 93.)
4 Select the ‘X-Y/Mono’ tab.
5 In the ‘Mono Output Range’ section, enter a ‘Start’ and ‘End’ number in the fields provided.
6 Click
Read Outputs
. The corresponding inputs and outputs display on the tab, as shown in
Figure 10-7 on page 94 . The current router switching configuration displays.
The ‘Connections’ window displays all crosspoints in a router as one large set whereas the
‘Configuration’ window displays each partition separately.
7 On the tab, select the outputs being tested:
To select specific outputs use your keyboard and mouse.
Or
To select all outputs, from the menu bar select ‘Edit > Select All’.
8 To perform a ‘take’ on multiple signals, from the menu bar select ‘Action’ or right-click in the
pane to open a pop-up menu, and then select an option. If an option is not applicable to the cur-
rently active tab, the option is greyed-out.
The following lists the menu options:
Option Description
Diagonal Take Connects a contiguous range of physical inputs to a contiguous range of physical
outputs, usually within a partition or within the entire matrix. Example: 1-1, 2-2,...,
32-32. Each input is routed to each output.
Note: A ‘Diagonal Take’ is useful for restoring a matrix or partition to a default
starting point when testing it.
Range Take Connects a desired input to a contiguous range of physical outputs. Test outputs
from one input; one source is fed to multiple destinations.
Rev Diagonal
Take Connects a contiguous range of physical inputs to a contiguous range of physical
outputs in reverse order, usually within a partition or within the entire matrix.
Example: 33-48, 34-47,..., 48-33. A reverse diagonal take is useful for restoring a
matrix or partition to a default starting point when testing it.
Chop Take Two inputs (either channel) are alternately connected to either channel of a single
output. This mode of alternately switching between inputs to an output is useful
when comparing signals or making timing adjustments.
To exit ‘Chop Take’ mode, perform a new ‘Single Take’ to the test output. See step
