Flex Out (QIO-FLEX4A)

Input Pins

Output 1-4

Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line.

Output Pins

This component does not have any output pins.

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

QIO-FLEX4A Properties

Amplifier Disabled

Enables deactivation of the amplifier functionality of the device, preventing audio amplification or output. Default is No.

Each control listed in the Analog and Digital sections, are one per channel.

Flex I/O

Output

Changes the associated channel to a Flex Output channel.

To switch back to a Flex Input channel, you must enable the channel in the Flex Input component.

Analog

Peak Output Level (dBu)

Measures Peak Output level to the output device.

Output Mute

Mutes the output after the D-A converter and before the output.

Max RMS Output Level (dBu)

Controls the analog RMS output level after the D/A converter. This level is typically set slightly lower than the destination's sensitivity or maximum input level in order to avoid clipping the signal of a power amplifier. Varies in direct proportion with Output Gain.

Output Gain (dB)

The amount of gain applied to the outgoing analog signal. Varies in direct proportion with the Max RMS Output Level.

Digital

Peak Output Level (dBFS)

Measures the Digital Signal level prior to the D/A converter.

Clip

Red LED indicating if the signal is being clipped.

Clip Hold

Holds the clip indication until manually cleared.

Invert

Inverts the audio signal.

Mute

Mutes the digital audio signal.

Gain (dB)

Controls the gain of the digital audio signal prior to the D/A converter.

Status

Status LED 

This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the Touchscreen. See Touchscreen Status for the meanings of the various colors.

Status

Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition:

• OK: The device is functioning normally.
• Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting.
• Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Missing: The device cannot be discovered.
• Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being uploaded to the Core and before it has started running.
• Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.

Each channel on the Flex Input component has the following Control Pins with the exception of the Status Control Pin.
