Patching tooltips
Patching uses two types of tooltip — standard and list — to convey useful patching
information about the patch connectors. A tooltip is a transitory object, in the form of a
text box, that only appears while the GUI’s pointer is in the proximity of a patch
connector.
Standard tooltip
The standard tooltip is the default type that appears during all patching operations. The
following diagram shows, typically, the type of information provided by a standard
tooltip.
List tooltip
If you are carrying out a sequence operation, you can use the list tooltip to help in
selecting the destinations in the To section. This tooltip, which has a distinctive
translucent orange background, displays a list of the sources still to be patched. The
list is in order of selection, with the first in the queue being at the bottom. You can only
use the list tooltip for sequence operations.
Item Description
1 Patch connector information panel, contains information on the selected
patch connector, such as, name, ID, device name, device ID etc.
Depending on the device type, a signal level meter appears if the channel is
passing audio.
2 Routing information panel, contains patching information on the selected
patch connector. (If this panel is blank, the patch connector is not
patched.)
3 The patch connector that the tooltip belongs to.
Item Description
1 ID of the patch connector currently under the GUI pointer.
2 List of selected sources still to be patched. Contains channel and device ID
information.
3 The source patch connector currently waiting to be patched. Once patched,
this will disappear from the list and the one immediately above will become
the next available.
