A computer controlled signal router has a graphical user interface which
pictorially represents the source channels and destination channels as
intersecting, perpendicular sets of stripes with the intersections
representing the switches of a cross-point switching matrix. Multiple
signal channels are arranged in logical planes which may be displayed
singly or in composite views. Links between source channels and
destination channels which are effected by the cross-point switch are
displayed by a visual indicator at the intersection of the selected source
and destination stripes in the single plane view. In the multi-plane view,
closed switches in their respective planes are represented by color coded
segments of the visual indicator. Sources and destinations are linked and
unlinked by selecting on the display the appropriate cross-point, or by
designating a source and destination through selection of icons at the
ends of the source and destination channel lines.
