information; they will be described in detail in section 4.
The Software Input Panel (SIP) Button
To access this tool, click the keycap icon in the toolbar and the SIP keyboard will appear in the bottom
right corner of the screen. Using the mouse to click keycaps, you will find that it reacts just like a physical

The Volume control button controls the volume of the channel being monitored. When pushed, a long
slider appears, with 3 additional buttons. Moving the slider changes the volume as expected; the “Mute”
button mutes the volume and the “-20dB” attenuates it accordingly. Use the ”Select” button to specify
which audio group to monitor for each channel, in the case of embedded audio. This feature will be
detailed in section 4. If the volume is being changed using the RCP or keyboard, this volume control will
appear, and can be used to monitor the changes as the are made.
