External Control Properties

User Interface Elements

CS Level Control

UI Element	Purpose
Label	A text string that external control systems can use as the display label for the control.
Level Value	Reflects the value (from 0 to 100%) of the CS Level control, which you can manually adjust from within the software. The control does not alter audio level, however, until you link it to a Level control on the Processing Map by clicking, dragging, and then dropping the CS Level link icon onto the link icon of the Level control on the Processing Map. When the two controls are linked, they track one another (as long as the link is active).
Enabled	An enable setting for the control. This allows external control systems to enable or disable a control in the end-user control system. (e.g. make the control read-only on the control display) note: This setting does not affect the control's operation in the HAL system. That is, the level control behaves the same whether or not the Enable check box is checked or unchecked. When the Enable checkbox changes state, the HAL external control server sends an appropriate message to the connected external control systems. These systems can use the enable state as desired, making the control visible or invisible, read-only, etc.

An enable setting for the control. This allows external control systems to enable or disable a control in the end-user control system. (e.g. make the control read-only on the control display)

CS Toggle Control

UI Element	Purpose
Label	A text string that external control systems can use as the display label for the control.
Toggle	Reflects the current state of the CS Toggle control—on (checkbox is selected) or off (checkbox is not selected), which you can control from within the software. The control does not alter audio level, however, until you link it to a Toggle control on the Processing Map (for example, a Mute or Preset Active control). To do so, click, drag, and drop the CS Toggle link icon onto the link icon of the Toggle control on the Processing Map. When the two controls are linked, they track one another (as long as the link is active).
Enabled	An enable setting for the control. This allows external control systems to enable or disable a control in the end-user control system. (e.g. make the control read-only on the control display) note: This setting does not affect the control's operation in the HAL system. That is, the toggle control behaves the same whether or not the Enable check box is checked or unchecked. When the Enable checkbox changes state, the HAL external control server sends an appropriate message to the connected external control systems. These systems can use the enable state as desired, making the control visible or invisible, read-only, etc.

CS Selector Control

UI Element	Purpose
Label	A text string that external control systems can use as the display label for the control.
Selections	Displays the list of selections available to end users on the CS Selector Control. This list is not populated until the Selector control is linked to a Selector control on the Processing Map. To do so, click, drag, and drop the CS Selector link icon onto the link icon of the Selector control on the Processing Map. When the two controls are linked, they track one another (as long as the link is active). Provide custom names for each selection by clicking on the edit icon next to the current name and typing in the popup edit box.
Enabled	An enable setting for the control. This allows external control systems to enable or disable a control in the end-user control system. (e.g. make the control read-only on the control display) note: This setting does not affect the control's operation in the HAL system. That is, the selector control behaves the same whether or not the Enable check box is checked or unchecked. When the Enable checkbox changes state, the HAL external control server sends an appropriate message to the connected external control systems. These systems can use the enable state as desired, making the control visible or invisible, read-only, etc.

CS Command Control

UI Element	Purpose
Label	A text string that external control systems can use as the display label for the control.
Command	Click the button to assert the CS Command. Asserting the Command does little, however, until you link it to a Command control on the Processing Map (for example, a Command preset). To do so, click, drag, and drop the CS Command link icon onto the link icon of the Command control on the Processing Map. When linked, asserting the CS Command then asserts the linked Command (as long as the link is active).
Enabled	An enable setting for the control. This allows external control systems to enable or disable a control in the end-user control system. (e.g. make the control read-only on the control display) note: This setting does not affect the control's operation in the HAL system. That is, the command control behaves the same whether or not the Enable check box is checked or unchecked. When the Enable checkbox changes state, the HAL external control server sends an appropriate message to the connected external control systems.
