Using Emulate mode

the computer. To use Emulate mode, do the following:
1 . Double-click the Matrix Switchers Control Program icon in the Extron
Electronics group or folder.
2 . Choose Emulate, and click Ok.
3 . Choose an emulation file to open, and click Ok. The file DEMO.MTX provides
a sample of a completed matrix setup. Selecting the file NEW.INI or clicking
Cancel
provides a blank setup to get you started.
4 . Enter the file name under which you want to save any changes to the file, and
click Ok.
5 . Select the number of video boards, audio boards, and matrix model for which
you are preparing a configuration, and click Ok.
6 . Continue using the program as described on page 5-42.

For information about program features, you can access the help program in any of
the following ways:

Special Characters
The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The switcher
will not accept these characters as part of preset names, the switcher’s name,
passwords, or locally created file names.
The switcher rejects the following characters:
{space (spaces are ok for names)} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ semicolon (;)
colon (:) | \ and ?.
Button-Label Generator Program
The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place in the
translucent covers of the input and output selection buttons. You can create labels
with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive
input and output selection. See appendix C, “Reference Information”, for the
procedure for removing and replacing the translucent covers.
The Extron Button Label Generator is available on the Extron Web site,
www.extron.com , under the Download Center tab. Click the Software link
(figure 5-36), and download and install the program.
