Device List
The Device List identifies the Vertigo devices that were found on the host machine (local)

The following table provides a description for each of the columns in the Device List and the
topics listed below describe the tasks that you can perform using the Device List.

O UTPUT C HANNEL Displays the name of the output channel for the Vertigo device. Typically, this is
A or B.
Note: If the device is a Vertigo software CG, this field always displays “SWCG”
as the output channel.

indicates the state of the device.
The green light indicates that the device is active, connected to Dashboard, and
ready to accept commands.

established by Dashboard. Therefore, you need to start the device and connect
it to Dashboard through the host computer or the network.
