Report
The Java tool is equipped with a report function that exports the current switching status and all relevant
parts of the matrix configuration to a PDF file. The report function can be used in both online or offline
mode of the Java tool.
To create a report, proceed as follows:
1. Select File > Report... in the menu bar. A selection assistant will be opened.
2. Select the desired information to be included in the report (Matrix View, EXT Units, CPU Devices
and CON Devices) and confirm with the Next > button.
3. Select the preferred location for storage of the report and confirm with the Finish button. The report
will be created as a PDF file.

Control through the Serial Interface
The Orion XC operating system has a number of functions that can be controlled via serial interface. There
are message packets for switching single or all available connections, both unidirectional and bidirectional.
In addition, there are other messages packets for an overall definition of the total switching status and for
saving and loading such switching states.
If requested, the Orion XC can provide an echo through the serial interface or network interface of all
switching operations. This allows tracking of the current connection status of the matrix at any time.
In addition, matrix clones can be switched in parallel as synchronized matrices (Stacking) through the
serial network interface.
