Power-up
When the ECP 1000 is powered up, the following events occur:
• All lights on the ECP 1000 front panel turn on and then off, in
sequence.
• The ECP 1000 detects the number of SGS 408 units that are
connected.
• The buttons that are programmed to work with the number of
connected SGS 408 units become backlit. For example, if
SGS 408 units are attached to SGS ports 1 and 3, all screen
effect buttons that are programmed to work with 1 or 2
screens become backlit, as do screen selection buttons 1
and 3.
• The LCD displays the name of the product, and then displays
the attached screens (based on the connected ports) and
the default effect duration (figure 3-2). This second screen
is the default screen.
