EditorX-81 Sensor Configuration
This section of the user interface enables configuration of a single sensor input of the digitizer. The sensor type can be selected as analog or digital, and the signal processing configuration can be visualized in a diagram.
Load / Save
The "L" and "S" buttons in the left top allow for loading and saving the settings of one sensor input. When a digital sensor is selected, the settings of one virtual input can be loaded or saved.
Analog / Digital
Sensors output either analog or digital signals. Analog sensors output a single value that is captured by the digitizer using its analog to digital converter, after which a number of algorithms can be applied to process the sensor value and output it as a MIDI message. Digital sensors convert analog value(s) in the sensor itself and communicate with the digitizer using a synchronous serial digital protocol called I2C, which involves exchanging pulse trains that represent bytes between the sensor and the digitizer, which then can apply a number of algorithms to process the sensor values and output them as MIDI messages.
When selecting Analog, a number of conversion methods can be selected that may be applied in conjunction with processing methods. When selecting Digital from the pull-down menu, a menu next to it is shown to select the virtual input (that represents the digital sensor's parameter) and its configuration. Also, when selecting Digital, a number of sensor presets can be selected, applicable to the corresponding I-CubeX sensors.
Visualize
The Visualize button opens a window that displays the Signal Flow of the sensor data.
View
The View button opens a MIDI Monitor.
Solo
The Solo button in the right top disables or enables the input processing for all inputs except the selected input. The input can be a virtual input if the sensor input is configured for a digital sensor. Solo is disabled by default after a reset or upon powering the digitizer. This feature is useful when utilising MIDI learn of other software that is receiving the MIDI messages from the digitizer.

The remainder of the Sensor Input section is explained in the following sub-sections:
