Logical Matrix Parameters

Every Physical Matrix must be assigned to at least one Logical Matrix, but

can be assigned to more. A Logical Matrix is a software-defined array of

crosspoints. The crosspoints need not be contiguous. Signals of the same

type can be scattered through the Physical Matrix (because Inputs and

Outputs are assigned to a Logical Matrix on a one–by–one basis). Generally,

Logical Matrices are established to handle a specific signal group. Outputs

assigned to a Logical Matrix can ONLY directly access Inputs assigned to

that same Logical Matrix, but they can use tie-lines to access inputs

assigned to another Logical Matrix. If the Logical Matrices are within the

same Crosspoint Group and the necessary crosspoint hardware is in place,

tie-lines are not required. A Logical Matrix can consist of multiple Elements

(default is a single Element). Each Element is attached to a Segment within

a Crosspoint Group.
