You may optionally save them to the Saved Devices list so you can sort them as you like. You may also use that list to manually add devices in another VLAN or over the Internet. MiniStatus doesn't control any device by any mean. You will need their own software to control them. MiniStatus won't conflict with these software either, you may use them at the same time. You can use MiniStatus with no limitation for 3 minutes after launch. After 3 minutes, all items will be locked except for the first 4. You can restart MiniStatus to get another 3 minutes whenever you want. As a pro monitoring tool, MiniStatus does not run in the background and it will prevent your device from sleeping. Notes: - Sennheiser EW series are not tested with actual devices. Their info may be incorrect. - Similarly, if you are experiencing any issue, willing to give any idea or seeking for more device support, please feel free to contact me at yuuhei@audio.ninja.
