8 Channel Automatic Matrix Mixer
Enter Input/Output Names... - Allows names to be assigned to the 10 inputs and the 4 outputs of the AM8/4. These
names may be up to 15 characters long and are stored in nonvolatile memory in the AM8/4. In addition, the names
are stored in any disk files generated with any of the save to disk options above. Inputs or outputs with no assigned
names are listed as "No Name". To change a name, simply click on the desired text box and enter the desired name.
While you are permitted to enter more than 15 characters in the text box, only the first 15 will be stored. To save the
changes to the AM8/4's nonvolatile memory, you must click the Apply button and then use the Save Active Setup to
AM8/4 Preset File menu option. If you click the Cancel button, the changes you have made will not be applied. The
shortcut key for this option is Ctrl+E.
Enter Disk File Notes... - Allows you to add any notes that you want to be included in a file saved to disk. These
notes could be installation instructions, operational instructions, or any other information which might be helpful to
associate with a saved file. You'll see the
screen shown at the right when you choose
this option:
After you enter the desired text into the text
box, choose OK to save the changes you've
made. Cancel will ignore the changes you've
made since the last time you clicked OK. Note
that to save your changes to a disk file, you
must still either use Save Preset(s) from AM8/4
to Disk File... or Save Active Setup to Disk
File... to store the notes in a disk file. The
shortcut key for this option is Ctrl+D. To save
the changes to the AM8/4's nonvolatile
memory, you must click the Apply button and
then use the Save Active Setup to AM8/4
Preset File menu option. The shortcut key for
this option is Ctrl+E.
If you have notes already in a file and also
have added notes locally through this option,
you'll see the following screen if you save to
either disk file or to an AM8/4 preset:
The screen will show you the notes from the selected disk
file as well as your local notes. You may choose to use the
existing disk file notes, replace them with the local notes, or
append the local notes to the disk file notes.
Print Setup... - Allows the active printer to be changed
using the standard Windows printer setup dialog. This will
set the printer which is used with the Print Tabs... menu
selection. The shortcut key for this option is Ctrl+P.
Print Tabs... - Allows any or all of the AM8/4 control panel
tabs to be printed for documentation purposes.
Update AM8/4 Firmware from Disk File - Allows newer
firmware revisions to be loaded into the AM8/4. From time
to time, new features or (heaven forbid!!) bug fixes will be
added to the AM8/4's firmware. If a firmware upgrade is
needed in the field, the latest firmware is available from
Lectrosonics technical support. The firmware file will have
a ".s19" extension, and should be put in your LecNet
directory. If no firmware file is available in the LecNet directory, this option will be disabled. The shortcut key for this
option is Ctrl+U.
Exit - Ends the application. The shortcut key for this option is Ctrl+X.
