Configuring And Using Iq User Keys - Axia iQ Installation & User Manual

An example of this sort of "virtual GPIO" operation
is triggering the TALK TO EXT command and EXT
PREVIEW command of the CR Monitor logic.

Configuring and using iQ User Keys

The 6 Fader + User Keys iQ expansion module pro-
vides two sets of 5 programmable "user keys." You'll
use the iQ Control Center's Console Configuration page
to configure ports for these keys to use.
When you've defined one of the expansion console
units as "Console Ext 6", you'll find a section marked
"User Buttons" that you'll use to configure the functions

of these keys.
• The ID column identifies the User Keys from top to
bottom, and in the left and right columns.
• The GPIO Channel box (and the adjacent selector
boxes) allow you to assign a Livewire GPIO Chan-
nel number to each User Key.
• The Role drop-down selector has two choices:

the corresponding button will light, indicating
"ready."
