Quick Monitor Buttons

You can listen to defined signals by one mouse click via the Quick Monitor Buttons. For this, you need to create buttons in the DHDOM and to assign the desired signals that should be connected to the monitoring output.

Choose the entry Workstations in the Administration menu. The Workstation Configuration window appears. The monitoring buttons of the DHDOM can be configured on the Quick Monitor Buttons tab. These settings are not based on single users, but on the PC the users log in. The basic settings can only be done by administrators, but every user can modify the enabled buttons depending on personal needs. Modifications done by a user without user login are not saved: they will get lost after a user login or when exit the DHDOM.

Select the workstation in the list on the left-hand side you want to edit. You can define the number of buttons (max. 400 buttons) and the arrangement in the Arrangement part simultaneous. That means you enter the number of the columns as well as the rows and the total of buttons is given automatically (e.g. 5 columns x 4 rows = 20 buttons). In the text boxes Height of a button and Font Size you can enter the vertical size of the buttons and the size of the button labels. The horizontal dimensions are given automatically by the number of columns and the current size of the window. Press Set to confirm your settings. Reset deletes all quick buttons and sets Height of a button and Font Size to the standard values.

If there are already defined buttons on other workstations, it is possible to copy these settings to the currently selected workstation by using the function Copy Quickbuttons From. Please note that the settings in the Arrangement section are getting overwritten by loading the quick buttons from another workstation.

The list in the Available Quick Buttons section shows all configured buttons. Choose the respective button from the list you want to edit. Give the button a name in the text box Label. Click Select… to assign a source to the quick button. Activate the checkbox Not Changeable by Users if the button should not be editable. The color of the button and the color of its label can be set individually for each button. You can restore the predefined colors by pressing the respective reset button.

Press Apply to save your settings if you want to continue with the workstation configuration or press OK to save and close the Workstation Configuration window. It is possible to undo all settings and reload the state you had saved last by pressing Cancel.

Click on the symbol in the toolbar to show or hide the quick monitor buttons. Alternatively, you can also use the Quick Buttons entry in the View menu to handle this function.

By clicking a quick monitor button, its source is connected to the monitoring output. An active connection is shown by a blue border around the button. The connection gets released by pressing the button again.

All enabled quick monitor buttons (checkbox Not Changeable by Users is deactivated) can be modified individual by each user. Therefore, you only have to drag'n'drop the desired source to the quick monitor button. For the assignment, the sources can directly be taken from the matrix and list view or the Monitoring Sources tab. Another possibility is the Change Input option of the buttons contextual menu that is explained in the following. In this case, the Audio Tree window is opened and you can assign inputs of this list to the buttons.

You can reach some more options of the button configuration by the mentioned contextual menu. For this, you have to right-click the button. The most functions are only executable if you have attached a source to the button and you don't use the administrator's predetermined source. The Restore Button Default function resets the settings of the button back to the administrator's default. Moreover, with the contextual menu, you can change the label as well as the colors of the button and the label.
