Query gating status of all microphone
inputs.
B01GATE*abcd , where each letter (a, b, etc.) is

8.66. GATEEN -- Enable Automatic Gating Messages
This command controls whether or not gating information messages are sent automatically. If GATEEN is
enabled, then a GATE*? query is performed each time the gating status of any microphone changes. For
example, if no microphones are currently gated on and GATEEN is enabled, then if microphone input 3 gates
on, the following status message will be automatically generated:
B01GATE*0010
See the
GATE command for more information.
This command is a boolean command. See
Section 6.1 for more information on this type of command.
This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be
restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.

8.67. GMUTEO -- Mute All Outputs
The name of this command is an abbreviation of "Global Mute Outputs." Enabling this option causes all of the
physical outputs to be muted (outputs 1-4, A-D, T, L) . This muting is independent of the normal output
mute command, MUTEO. This command is provided so that the control program can implement a "saftey
mute" feature. The idea is that if the user accidentally misconfigures the Vortex and feedback begins to
occur, they can press the saftey mute to instantly mute all outputs before they damage their equipment or
ears.
This command is a boolean command. See
Section 6.1 for more information on this type of command.
This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be
