Installation (MXM) :
"IQ for Windows" must be installed prior using this MxM. This software
can be downloaded from the IQ WEB site : > http://www.iqaudiosystems.com/.
Once "IQ for Windows" is installed, start the IQNet Server program from
the Start Menu.
The first time IQNet Server is launched, it performs a discovery of
the IQ Components (devices) which may be hooked to the host PC. However,
this process is rather long and we suggest to use the following options
to speed up the process.
The option dialog box can be shown by righ-clicking on the IQNET Server
icon on the task bar. Make sure that the "Save system configuration
to System Dataframe", "Load but do not retrieve component settings"
and "Do not prompt action at program startup" are checked..
Quit the IQNet Server program by right-clicking
on the IQNET Server icon on the task bar and choosing the "Close" item.
Once configured, the IQNet Server needs not to be started manually anymore
as it will be automatically launched by the MxM.
If additional IQ components are used after the first IQNet Server startup.
The IQNet Server should be updated by clicking on the "Perform
Roll Call" button of its main window.

Device Object Information File (OIF):
This is the path of a file which gives information about the component.
This file is part of the IQ for Windows installation. You don't need
to change this value unless the information file is moved manually.
Monitor Setup:
The "Setup Monitor Variables" allows the user to select which informations
from the unit must be monitored with system variables via the following
dialog box :
This dialog box shows all of the controls of
the unit which can be monitored : select a control and right-click to

are not available in Manager STAGE.
Note on positrack: Positrack DOES
NOT affect the entire device. Positrack only sets the value of controls
which were modified by cues in the time line before the "pause"
time. In other words, the programmer should add any desired cues at
the beginning of the timeline if he wants the positrack to "reset"
these values.
