Manage System - Control/Emulate Options
Click the Control/Emulate link (in the Manage System tab) to access the Control/Emulate Options page
(FIG. 36). The options on this page allow you to Control or Emulate a device connected to this Master.
Device Control/Emulation is accomplished by manipulating a target device’s channels, levels, and sending
both send commands and strings to the device.
To Control a device means that the program generates messages which appear to a specified device
to have come from the Master.
To Emulate a device means that the program generates messages which appear to the Master to
have come from a specified device (physical or virtual). When Emulate is selected, a Push button is
added to the Channel Code section (see FIG. 36).
