Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual page 79

In this example, the virtual channel group "Mics" are muted and the console shows the command in blue
and the acknowledgments generated in green.
When SoundStructure Studio is working offline, the prefix [Offline]: is shown in the console as a reminder
that commands are not being sent to actual devices. While offline, commands are sent to the
SoundStructure device emulator using the command syntax described in
Reference Guide and acknowledgments are received just as if communicating to actual systems.
Offline operation is commonly used prior to the actual installation of the physical SoundStructure devices to
adjust the system before on site installation, or when a physical device is not readily accessible.
Note: Working Offline with SoundStructure Studio
With SoundStructure Studio, it is possible to work offline and fully emulate the
operation of the SoundStructure devices. You can send commands to the system,
the system receives acknowledgments, and the system operation including presets,
signal gains, matrix crosspoints, and more are tested without ever connecting to
SoundStructure devices.
When working offline, you can save the configuration file at any time by selecting File > Save Project. This
creates the file with the name of your choosing and stores the file on the local disk with the .str file extension.
When working online, saving the project prompts you to save the file on the disk as well as store the settings
in the SoundStructure device.
