Source Toolbar 
OmniTek XR has two main Source toolbars. 
Single Link Source Toolbar 
  
The above toolbar is offered where OmniTek XR is used with the Motion-Capture option. 
(A shorter version appears when the Advanced/External Audio option is being used.) 
The functionality of the above toolbar is best understood by reference to the block 
diagram shown below.

The first thing to consider is the input A/B switch, which chooses between the two 
physical inputs on the OmniTek XR unit. 
The input to the Analyzer module can come either from this serial input or from the 
internal test pattern generator/video store (where included).  
The Monitor Output can also be either the serial input or the output from the test pattern 
generator/video store. In either case, both the crosshair and the out-of-range detectors 
can be overlaid onto the output.  
The Serial Output can be independently set in a similar way to the Monitor Output, with 
the same markers overlaid.  
The check boxes associated with the Analyzer, Monitor out and Serial out settings allow 
you to switch two or more of these to the Serial input or to the Generator output simply by 
changing one of them. Simply tick the items that you would like changed together. 
Dual Link version 
 
This version of the Source toolbar replaces the original toolbar when a Dual Link video 
format is selected. When you switch the Video Standard toolbar back to a single link 
source, the standard Source toolbar will reappear.
