Matrix Configuration Definitions:
Matrix ID: A total of 9 matrix configurations may
be defined in a single engine. Once saved,
the configuration may be recalled by
number without having to redefine the
settings.
Number of Inputs: The number of inputs in the
configuration, or eight times the number of
input cards installed, is the maximum.
If the channel width and spacing are
different, then the number of inputs will be
lower. For example, in a 32X32 matrix with
a width of 4 and a spacing of 7, the number
of inputs would be 8. See Example 1 in this
section for specifics.
Number of Outputs: Same as for Inputs.
Input Offset: The offset defines where Input #1
will be in reference to Input #1 on the Input
Connector Card. Typically, Input #1 would
be Input #1 of the base card. However, an
offset of 8 will make Input #1 start at the
actual Input #9.
Output Offset: Same as for Input Offset.
Channel Width: The number of signals per
channel. The default width is one.
Channel Spacing: The default spacing is zero.
When dealing with multi-cabled signals, the
spacing is typically one less than the
number of inputs on a single card.
Matrix Assembly Layout:
Input cards count from the main Input
Connector Card, right-to-left.
Output cards count from the main Output
Connector Card, left-to-right.
The following table illustrates the card and
channel numbering. The channel numbering is
based upon the default configuration. The
default configuration is configured as a 64X64
Matrix with the following settings:
Number of Inputs = 64
Number of Outputs = 64
Input Offset = 00
Output Offset = 00
Channel Width = 01
Channel Spacing = 00

Inputs = 08
Outputs = 08
Input Offset = 00
Output Offset = 00
Width = 04
Spacing = 07
In the charts below, the cards are in groups of
four to help illustrate channel width.
In this configuration, if Input 1 is connected to
Output 8, the entire channel, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d,
will be switched to outputs 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d
respectively.
