The open pages are remembered by filename, not by the path. Q-SYS Designer remembers the Schematic Pages you have open from the last time you saved the file.If you open more than one design, multiple instances of Q-SYS Designer are opened.Open (Ctrl+O) - Opens a Windows dialog box allowing you to navigate to any saved Q-SYS design file (file extension.New Design (Ctrl+N) - Opens a new instance of Q-SYS Designer.You can select the Control Pins you want to be available for each Schematic Element.

The Schematic Library contains a listing of all the virtual DSP, Control, and Layout components you can add to your system design. Right-side Pane has four main sections:. You can link components on different pages using Signal Names. You add more pages under the Schematic Pages accordion bar. You can have one or many linked or un-linked pages of schematic diagrams. The Schematic is the area in the center of the screen. Named Controls - to make Q-SYS controls available to Control Change Commands, Control Scripting, and external control systems,.

Click the icon to mute the system, the loudspeaker with the red international "NO" symbol displays, indicating the system is muted. System Mute icon - loudspeaker with "sound waves" indicates the system is not muted. If there is a Redundant Core, the status is given for that as well. Hovering over the Core name displays the communication status, the IP address currently being used by the Core, and all available IP Addresses. Core name and status - gives the user-defined name of the Core, and the status.Green indicates that communication with the Core is OK, red indicates an issue. The Status Bar, under the main menu, has the following information:. The main menu is a typical Windows drop-down menu with the following choices: File, Edit, View, Tools, and Help.
