Main Window Top Menu Items
The Main Window is organized in a straightforward
manner with three pull down menus. Brief descriptions
of these menus are presented here as an introduction.
Full descriptions and instructions for the menu items
are presented in the online Help.
With multiple Venue receivers, a pane opens for each
receiver, with positions for up to six receiver modules in
each. This lets you view and control all wireless sys-
tems simultaneously on a single computer screen.
File Menu
Items under the File Menu allow you
to create, store and retrieve configu-
rations from files stored on disk, and
to update the firmware. Open Offline
opens a configuration stored on disk
without having hardware connected.
See the online Help for more infor-
mation pertaining to these items.
Configuration Menu
Connections to the Venue receiver
via USB, a COM port, Network or an
Extron IPL TS ethernet adapter are
enabled in this menu.
Compact View reduces the size of
objects in the main window, allowing
more Venue receivers to be moni-
tored and controlled at the same
time. Add Offline lets you add another Venue receiver
to the configuration without having the hardware. See
the online Help for more information pertaining to these
items.
