Layout of the panel

Every panel displays a stationary device. The graphical representation of the panel depends on the device type and the settings made under “View Style” in the “Channel” menu. For details on the possible settings, see Working with panels.

The following screenshot shows an example panel:



A red dot in the panel indicates that you have access rights for these devices (see Using several WSM software in a network).

1 Icon / number / picture

The top left corner of the panel can be provided with an icon, a number or a picture (see Selecting an icon for a panel).

Depending on the connected device, one of the following icons appears:

EM 373x (receivers only)
Lights up: An external word clock generator is connected and switched on.
Flashes: The receiver is not synchronized with the word clock generator (see instruction manual of the device).
The receiver is working with the internal word clock generator.
EM 9046 (receiver only)
Streaming is not enabled (for information on how to enable streaming, see Configuring streaming).
Streaming is enabled but no stream is played. The letter R indicates that RTP/RTSP streaming is used.
RTP/RTSP streaming is active and streams can be listened to.

2 Name of the device

The name set on the device is displayed. The name can be changed in the “Properties” window (see Setting parameters in the “Properties” window).

3 Frequency and channel display

The frequency of the device appears below its name. The channel is displayed below the frequency (see “Easy Setup” frequency management and Working with panels).

4 Diversity display

The active antenna is displayed in green.

The labeling of the diversity sections depends on the device type:

  • 3000 series receivers: “A” and “B”
  • ew G3 and 2000 series receivers: “I” and “II”

5 Field strength display

The bar graphs indicate the current field strength. The horizontal yellow line indicates the set squelch threshold (see Working with panels).

If the field strength is below the squelch threshold, the bar appears in red and the audio output is muted.

6 Status field / Display of the audio outputs AF and COM

If a threshold value on the device is exceeded or undershot, a message appears in the status field.

The messages are highlighted in different colors. The part of the panel to which the message refers is also highlighted.

For the list of warning and error messages, see Warning and error messages.

7 Modulation display

Level indicator for the audio level at the transmitter.

The threshold values are displayed in color in the modulation display. A yellow section in the bar graph indicates that the transmitter is fully modulated. An additional red section indicates overmodulation. If this occurs, reduce the modulation level on the transmitter.

The modulation displays depend on the device type:

  • 3000 series receivers: “Dev”
  • ew G3 and 2000 series receivers and stationary transmitters: “AF”

With these receivers, the modulation can be shown in different views (see Changing the graphical representation of panels).

  • “Variant” 1 and 3: The modulation is shown as a bar graph.
  • “Variant” 2: The modulation is shown as a colored box. The display changes between three colors, depending on the state.

8 Battery status

The battery symbol indicates the charge status of the batteries. The graphical representation depends on the device and battery type (primary cells or accupack).

  • Green: The battery is fully charged.
  • Yellow: The battery is about half discharged.
  • Red: The critical level is reached. The battery symbol flashes red. Additionally, a message appears in the panel, the system window (“Messages” tab) and the status bar.

The remaining accupack capacity is additionally displayed for ew G3 and 2000 series devices.
