When the Lightware Matrix Controller finds the hardware, it determines the product type,
and the control menu appears. The current state of the crosspoint switch is displayed.
This view depends on the matrix frame size and the installed I/O boards.
6.3. Control menu
This menu contains the crosspoint area and the preset area. After connecting to a device,
this menu appears by default.
This view adapts to the input and output numbers of the router. I1; I2; I3... columns
represent the inputs, the O1; O2; O3...rows represent the outputs. Each green square
represents an active connection. Since an input can be routed to more outputs
simultaneously, there can be one or more green squares in one column. However an
output can be switched to only one input, so there can be only one green square in any
row.
6.3.1. Navigation

matrix frames there are two options to navigate the view to the desired section of the full

One option is to use the navigation field in the upper right corner. You can
quickly navigate to one of the nine main regions of the crosspoint array by
clicking the appropriate area in the navigation field. Note that the regions
are approximate only, and they can be overlapping. Keep in mind that the
green squares in this field are not related with the actual crosspoint
connections, but are only graphical elements.
