1.1 Added separate video switching and variables

RS-232 Connection

The RS-232 connection on the Lattis should be connected with a straight through cable to the XP-8 serial adapter.

The Lattis defaults to a baud rate of 38400, it can be changed to 9600 by powering up the unit while pressing the small Mem Erase button on the back panel. To change it back to 38400 you press the Mem Erase button while the unit is powered up.

Other Info

There is no overall volume returned for an output, only left and right separately. The volume adjustment sets left and right to the same value. If you change the balance it will return to center if you use the channel's volume settings. The volume up and down functions preserve the balance adjustment.

The fast route commands allow you to switch inputs without the usual crossfading. This can speed up the function of the matrix when making a large number of changes in succession.
