its hardware configuration (type and size of each connected BME). It then
reads the system's settings (Ties, Presets, Virtual Map, etc.) and draws a
graphical representation of the unit's configuration and settings (Ties) on the
Main screen (Figure 3-5.A & B). It also reads the MTRX6400.INI file (saved
from last session) to draw Icons for each I/O (if any had been applied in
previous programming sessions) to make the graphical representation even
more friendly.
If this is a new system that has not been virtualized yet or one that has had its
map cleared, the graphical representation and all information shown on the
Virtual Map screen may be invalid at this time.

the Virtual Configuration screen. This screen shows how the physical system
will be mapped into a virtual system switcher by the Windows program (see
Figure 3-4.B). You may need to make some choices at this time that affect how
many virtual planes will be created and how many virtual inputs and
outputs will exist. For example, if a Sync BME was found, the program needs
you to decide whether to use composite sync (1 plane) or separate H and V
sync (2 planes).
You need to decide how you want the initial map assignments organized,
whether as 'Repeat-Pattern' (e.g. RGBRGB..B) or 'Group-by-Plane' (e.g.
