LATCH Element
The latch element creates a true or false output that can be set or 
cleared by inputs to toggle, set or reset inputs.  The latch element will 
maintain the state it is set to until that state is changed via a set, reset 
or toggle.

The latch element can be used with the toggle input only connected 
and the set and reset inputs not connected.  In this case the latch will 
change state when it is toggled by an external input.  The toggle 
operates on the rising edge of an input so if the input goes to true the 
latch will toggle to the opposite to its current state.  When the toggle 
input goes false the latch will remain in its current state until the toggle 
input goes true again.

Figure 1-84: Latch Sequence Using Toggle
This allows a toggle input to toggle normal and inverted outputs so that 
input events will enable outputs which then remain enabled until the 
latch is toggled again or reset.  
An example of using the latch with toggle, set and reset connected is 
shown in Figure 1-85.

The LATCH function adds a 25ms processing delay.
ENABLE Element
The ENABLE logic element allows a logic true or always on input to be 
placed in a control sequence design.  This allows control sequences to 
be created with temporary external inputs or stubs which are known to 
be always on.  This logic element is useful for testing the logic design.

DISABLE Element
The DISABLE logic element allows a logic false or always off input to 
be placed in a control sequence design.  This allows control sequence 
designs to be created with temporary external inputs or stubs which 
are known to be always off.  This logic element is useful for testing  the 
logic design.

APPENDIX A 
CONTROL MACRO 
EDITOR
INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL MACRO 
EDITOR
Control macros allow the configuration map that controls the matrix 
operation to be directly modified via control macros. Each control 
macro contains a series of commands with each defined command 
representing an action carried out on an object in the configuration.  An 
object may be a port, an input or output device or label.
The main use of control macro scripts is to select controls which have 
already been configured using the ECS client, and modify the actions 
that they trigger when activated.
Each defined command is named and can have multiple inputs and 
outputs and combination logic. These commands take the form of 
actions to be associated with controls, and the control macro editor will 
assist the author by providing an overview of available actions and the 
parameters each requires in order to function.
Conditional logic is available (i.e. with AND, OR logic), with examples 
and code hints supplied by the control macro editor environment.
Examples of the use of control macros when coupled with ECS 
Controls and port configuration are:
• To enable or disable a route between any source and a named 
destination which may be conditional on the status of other 
Controls, Route based Controls or GPIs.
• To enable or disable a named panel’s loudspeaker (dimming/ muting)
• To remotely enable a named panel’s microphone muting
• To remotely enable a named panel’s headset/ microphone selection
• To remotely enable a named panel’s nominated Key LED signal 
activation
• To remotely enable a named panel’s nominated Relay control
The control macro editor enables the user to:
• Define control macros
• Reference control macros by name
