Control Panel Builder
The Control Panel Builder window is for configuring the optional
Gentner Control Panel. The Control Panel is an interface module that
provides remote control of volume, mute, presets, and macros for the
XAP 800. The Control Panel can be configured within the context of
establishing presets or independently of presets.
1. Click the Control Panel Assignment button in the Preset
Configuration pane (or the button in the G-Ware toolbar in the
Configuration Matrix mode). The Control Panel Builder window appears.
2. Use the Control Panel Selection menu to select
the Control Panel you’re configuring.
3. If you opened the Control Panel Builder with the
toolbar button, the Change Name button is
visible. Click it to change or assign the panel’s
name.
4. Select the Control Panel Type. The Volume
Control is designed for volume control. The Select
Control is designed for source selection or
configuration control. Notice that the Control Panel
represented on the right side of the window
changes to reflect each control panel as it is
selected.
5. Use the Button/LED Selection menu to
configure the button or LED for which you wish to
set command descriptions or actions. Note that you can also click on
the LED or button in the panel depiction to make your selection.
Depending on the command you select, each Control Panel button can
respond like a momentary or latching button.
6. The default numbers on the left of the Volume Control Panel’s LEDs
represent attenuation levels in decibels. To change a level, click on the
LED and then select or enter the change in the Gain menu at the
bottom of the window. You can also set the upper and lower limits of
attenuation you desire (on LEDs L2 and L8) and then click Auto Scale,
which automatically assigns values to LEDs L3-L7 on a distributed
scale. The Select Control Panel can be similarly configured.
7. If you opened the Control Panel Builder from the Preset Configuration
pane, the Use in Preset box appears below the Button/LED Selection
menu. This box allows you to use specific button and/or LED settings
within a preset you’re establishing without altering how the remaining
buttons and LEDs are configured.
