Operating the controls

To use the control panels set up in your design, the software system has to be put into Operate mode. The design can be operated in simulation mode independently of the external hardware. This is useful for setting system parameters and testing the overall operation of the Control Panels. Once online the control panels should be ready for use and interactive with the hardware, i.e. affecting the signals - when passed through the system. Meters will show audio levels where appropriate and, the presence of signal will be shown through Configuration wiring when the mouse pointer is placed over them.

Operate mode is engaged automatically when going online to the devices and will be switched back off when going back offline.
