Control Labels
The Volume 8, Select 8, and Volume/Select 8 controls all come with a sheet of clear, adhesive-backed
labels, for custom printing on a laser printer. A Word document is available on the Audia
®
software CD
and on the Biamp web site (www.biamp.com), as a label printing template. These labels are meant to be
printed using desk-top laser printers only. It is recommended that the printer be set for 'label' printing, and
the label sheet should be 'short-edge' feed from the 'bypass' tray. A test printing of a single label should
be done, to assure proper alignment of text. To compensate for any mis-alignment of text, margins within
the Word document may be adjusted. Care should be taken in placement of the labels onto the controls.
To avoid finger-prints, the use of a knife-blade or tweezers is recommended for handling. Severe bending
or curling of the label may cause loss of some toner (text). When placing the label on the control panel,
use the vertical column of LED indicators as a visual reference of alignment. Once the label is in place, a
second (un-printed) label may be placed over the first label, to provide protection against wear. Each
sheet contains 25 labels, so in case of errors, additional labels may be printed.
NOTE: Originally, labels were 1.35" wide and used the Word document (V8S8 Labels.doc). However,
newer control panels require labels which are only 1.25" wide and use Word document (V8S8 B
Labels.doc). Check label width and use the appropriate file for printing.
In the Word document, select Show Gridlines from the Table menu. Each large cell represents a label.
The first four columns are 'left-justified' to create labels for Volume 8 and Select 8 panels, as well as for
the 'Volume' (left) section of Volume/Select 8 panels. The last column is 'right-justified' to create labels for
the 'Select' (right) section of Volume/Select 8 panels. Left-click inside any large cell, and begin typing.
Use 'Enter' to begin a new line, and again to leave a blank line. To avoid printing errors, do not change
line-spacing or other formatting parameters. However, if you do not have the default font (Helvetica), or if
you wish to change label appearance, you may select a different font before typing.
Meters
These Component Objects provide signal present, peak, and RMS metering functions. Meters may be
connected to any component output, and may be used for diagnostic and setup purposes, or for
applications which require real-time metering. Meters are available in pre-defined configurations, however,
the configuration may be customized when being placed from the Object Toolbar.
Once a Component Object is placed into the Layout, all available settings can be accessed by double-
clicking over the object. This produces a Control Dialog Box, which displays the component controls in a
more conventional user interface.

see Peak Meter Control Dialog
see RMS Meter Control Dialog
Right-clicking over the object provides a pop-up menu of options. Control Dialog Boxes for Meters
components can be minimized to create user control surfaces (see Customizing Component Objects).
