Linking Mix and Configuration Files

When a Mix Tree is created, the Desk Setup that is loaded is linked to the new Mix Tree.

Each Desk Setup can have an I/O Configuration, a GPI, a Snapshot and a User Defaults file associated with it.

This means that when a Mix Tree is loaded, the linked Desk Setup is also Loaded, plus any files that are linked to

the Desk Setup.

Alternatively, a Custom load allows a Mix Tree to be loaded without loading the linked Desk Setup.

To link a different Desk Setup with a Mix Tree click the On Load/Edit radio button for Update Links To Desk.

Load the Mix Tree and select the required Desk Setup and Load it.

The box above the Desk Setup list will show that the selected Desk Setup is loaded on the console. Any files

associated with the Desk Setup will also be loaded.

To link a new or different IO Configuration, GPI, Snapshot or User Defaults file with a Desk Setup click the

On Load/Edit radio button for Update Links To Desk and load the Desk Setup.

The box above the Desk Setup list will show that the selected Desk Setup is loaded on the console.

Select and Load the required file.

There is a None Selected option in each drop down list for IO Configuration, GPI, Snapshot and User Defaults

files. This can be selected and Loaded so that the Desk Setup has no file of the associated with it of the type for

which this is done.
