The three stages of automating the Matrix 200 switching are "presets",
"sequences" and "programs". The three menus that follow are associated with
automating:
• Routing configurations may be stored as Presets. (See Menu 4.)
• These stored Presets may be assigned as timed steps, to run in a Sequence.
(See Menu 5.)
A Sequence may be started at any time, and will loop through preset steps until
stopped.
• A Preset, or a Sequence, may also be Programmed to start at a specific time on
a specific date. (See Menu 6.)
A "Preset" is any routing configuration that has been set up in the Matrix 200 and
has been stored for future use. Any time the Matrix 200 has been configured, it
may be desirable to save those settings and use them again. Use the "Save
Conn. As Preset" menu to save the current routing configuration to SmartControl
memory by assigning it a number (1 - 20).
Later, when a Preset (a previously stored configuration) is needed, use the "Load
Preset" menu to set the Matrix for those conditions. The sections on Menus 5
and 6 explain how to use these Presets.
