CS3318 Controls Tab

The CS3318 Controls tab provides a high-level intuitive interface to many of the configuration options of the
CS3318. Control over the state of the CS3318’s MUTE and RESET input pins is also provided.

The Master X Mask check boxes are used to map each channel to the master controls. These check-boxes
reflect the state of their associated Master X Mask bits; when checked, the channel is un-masked.

The sliders facilitate control over the Ch X Volume registers, providing gain and attenuation in ½ dB steps.
The +¼ dB Gain check boxes are used to add an additional ¼ dB of gain to the volume level displayed for
each channel.

See the CS3318 datasheet for complete internal register descriptions.
