Led Image
An LED is a display-only control that shows the state of a device parameter. The LED control helps the designer to graphically show a certain condition, as defined by the designer, such as a warning. The “LED Image” control allows you to change the entire image of the LED where the “LED Color” control is a simplified control where you only need to change the color of the LED.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter or system function to function properly. You can also easily add a pre-defined label.
For example, the designer wants to show when the pink noise levels on each of the four inputs of a DriveRack 4800 are more than 10dB. First, he adds an LED and links it to the pink noise on Channel 1.
The designer then goes into the Properties field to the Parameters Value and defines the value with the LED Values Editor.

Led Preset Trigger
A preset trigger is a control on a Custom Panel that causes an activation event to execute when a specific condition occurs. The Custom Panel must be activated for the action to be performed. You can, however, set up a venue-wide rule with Logic Rules.
To Set Up a Preset Trigger
Add the preset trigger control to the Custom Panel then do one of the following:
- Right click the control and select edit parameter assignment.
or
- In the properties section of the graph, select the “…” at the right of parameter addresses.
To Reset a Preset Trigger
If the condition for the activation event is set to manual reset, the user must reset the control. Right-click the control on the activated panel and select “Reset Trigger.”
Led Region
The LED Region control sends a single value each time that it is pressed. While a button can be linked to a device parameter, it is more typically linked to a system function.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter or system function to function properly. You can also easily add a pre-defined label.
Led System Indicator
The system indicator is an LED-style control that allows you to define and show the state of specified devices. For example, on an activated panel, a system indicator will turn red and beep when a device is offline, then return to green when the connection is restored. A right mouse click on the system indicator on an activated panel also shows what state attached devices are in.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter or system function to function properly. You can also easily add a pre-defined label.
