See which slice is currently using each DAX channel

The DAX Audio applet shows a slice-assignment indicator next to each DAX channel so you can confirm at a glance which slice is routed where without leaving the main window.

Before you start

  • AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. The slice-assignment indicators require a live radio connection.
  • At least one slice must have a DAX channel assigned. If no slices are assigned, all indicators show β€”.

Steps

  1. Click the DAX tray button on the right sidebar to open the DAX Audio applet.
  2. Look at the status label to the right of each channel label (DAX 1:, DAX 2:, DAX 3:, DAX 4:).
  3. Read the indicator for each channel. It shows either β€” (no slice assigned) or Slice A through Slice H (the letter of the slice currently routed to that channel).
  4. To see which slice is driving the DAX TX stream, read the status label on the TX: row. It follows the same format: β€” or Slice A through Slice H.

What each control does

Indicator Location Possible values Persisted setting
Slice-assignment status (per channel) Right of DAX 1: – DAX 4: labels β€” or Slice A–Slice H None
TX assignment status Right of TX: label β€” or Slice A–Slice H None

These indicators are read-only. They update automatically when a slice's DAX channel assignment changes. Slice-to-channel assignment is configured on the slice itself, not in this applet.

Tips

  • The indicators update in real time. If you change a slice's DAX channel assignment on the radio or in another part of the UI, the applet reflects the change immediately without requiring a manual refresh.
  • A channel showing β€” means no slice is currently assigned to it; audio will not flow on that channel.
