7 Once again on the ‘Connections’ window, perform a ‘take’ to have signals sent from the Con-
trolling device, through the router, to the Controlled devices. Perform with a single ‘take’ or a
‘Range Take’:
To perform a ‘Diagonal Take’ on multiple signals, from the menu bar select ‘Action’, right-
click in the connections pane to open a pop-up menu, and then select ‘Diagonal Take’.
The following lists the menu options:
To perform a single ‘take’ of a single input to a single output, perform the following:
a Enter the new ‘Input’ and ‘Output’ in the fields provided in the ‘Single Take’ section. For
example, if currently input 1 switches to output 3, and you want input 1 to switch to output
6, enter 6 in the ‘Output’ field.
b Click
Execute
. A ‘take’ is performed based on the take format selected. (See Setting
Machine Control Take Preferences on page 104.)
8 (Optional) Create a switching configuration “salvo”. For more information, see Working With
Salvos on page 145.
9 Repeat steps 2–7 for each control card on the router.
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.
