11. Managing Machine Control Ports
Updating Machine Control Port Switching
6 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’.
7 To perform a take on multiple signals, from the menu bar select ‘Action’, right-click in the con-
nections pane to open a pop-up menu, and then select an option. If an option is not applicable to
the currently active tab, the option is greyed-out.
The following lists the menu options:
8 To perform a single ‘take’ of a single input to a single output, perform the following:
a Enter an ‘Input’ and an ‘Output’ in the fields provided in the ‘Single Take’ section.
b Click
Execute
.
9 (Optionally) create a switching configuration “salvo”. For more information, see Working With
Salvos on page 145.
10 Repeat steps 2–8 for each control card being tested.
Updating Machine Control Port Switching
The UniConfig ‘Connections’ window manages switching matrix settings for individual signals.
This is helpful if changes to switching settings need to be made before the router control system is
set up. However, the ‘Connections’ window is not intended for use as a router control system.
Switching configurations are managed using a router control system.
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.
To set the router to tri-sate, connect each port to itself. Example: 1-1, 2-2,..., 32-32.
Each input is routed to each output.
To test current machine control routing, connect each port to the next port in
sequence. Example: 1-2, 3-4,5-6, and so on.
Range Take Caution: while this function is available, it is not allowed for machine control ports.
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 Caution: while this function is available, it is not allowed for machine control ports.
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 This option not available for machine control ports.
Caution The input and output must be an actual I/O currently listed on the tab. Entering
an input or output that is not currently listed on the tab will create a new
switching configuration.
