The LCD configuration message displays each output number on the top line and
the tied inputs on the bottom line. Figure 3-16 shows the LCD display cycle that
results after the steps in example 1, example 2, and example 3 have been
completed.
Using presets
The current configuration (configuration 0) can be saved as a preset in any of 16
preset memory addresses. On the DXP 88 SDI, presets 1 through 8 are assigned to
the input buttons 1 through 8, and presets 9 through 16 are assigned sequentially to
output buttons 1 through 8 (figure 3-17). On the DXP 44 SDI, presets 1 through 4
are assigned to input buttons 1 through 4 and presets 5 through 8 are assigned to
output buttons 1 through 4.
All presets, including DXP 44 SDI presets 9 through 16, which are not available
from the front panel, can be stored and retrieved via the RS-232/RS-422 link.

1. The current configuration and all presets are stored in non-volatile
memory. When power is removed and restored, the current configuration
is still active and all presets are retained.
2. When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current configuration, which is
lost unless it is also stored as a preset. The recalled preset overwrites all of
the current configuration ties in favor of the preset configuration ties.
