QuickSwitch™ Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) Operation
The QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (see below) has its controls arranged in
two areas. The left side is Input and Output buttons, and the right side is Control
buttons and I/O Module Select buttons.
The basic operation of this panel is that it allows the user to tie any one input to
one or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.) Thus,
each input may have a tie (one output), or a “set of ties” (more than one output).
At any one time, the active configuration of a Matrix 200 may have a set of ties
per each available input. Any configuration (sets of ties) may be stored as a
Preset. The maximum number of Presets is eight. The Matrix 200 has Battery
Backup; Presets remain saved when power is off.
_______ Because each Matrix 200 is custom-built, it may have different combinations of
Input/Output (I/O) modules. For this reason, the operation of your unit will vary to
reflect these differences.
Power On Switch and LED
Before using the Matrix 200 front panel, turn power
on with the Power Switch on the back of the unit
(shown right). The red LED on the left end of the front
panel (shown left) lights when power is on.
Input and Output Buttons
The panel has a button and an LED for each input and each output. If the matrix
is 4x4, only the four left input and output buttons and LEDs will operate. If the
matrix is 8x4, all eight input buttons will operate, but only the four left output
buttons and LEDs will operate. The best way to describe the Input and Output
buttons is to use them in real examples with the other panel buttons. This is done
on the pages that
follow.
_______ Each input button and
LED also refers to a
Preset number.
Presets are discussed
on the next page.
