Configuration
Button Definitions
Source
Master
Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Other-
wise, the destination is the master. It applies to machine control routes.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-
tally); press it again to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).
A panel option allows you to make “source is master” the default. In this case, the
button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is master,” and
the button, if present, is high-tally by default.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” control routes.
See
Source/
Destination
A source/destination button selects both a source and a destination at one time.
A source/destination button can be configured to perform an immediate take. If
it is not, the operator must also press a ‘Take’ button to effect a take.
Take
In X-Y mode, a take button switches the preset source device to the selected
destination device on selected levels.
In MD mode, a take button switches the preset source device(s) to the selected
destination device(s) on all levels.
In most cases, configurers should provide the operator a ‘Take’ button.
Undefined
Makes the button undefined and inactive. On the actual panel, it will remain
unlit (dark).
Virtual Level
Contract
In X-Y mode, this button causes the alphanumeric display to show virtual levels
at the highest level of grouping (with the least detail). The button affects only
virtual levels that have been grouped. See
Level Grouping
on page 52.
The button has no effect in multi-destination mode.
This button has no configuration options.
Virtual Level
Expand
In X-Y mode, this button causes the alphanumeric display to show virtual levels
at the lowest level of grouping (with the most detail). The button affects only
virtual levels that have been grouped. See
Level Grouping
on page 52.
The button has no effect in multi-destination mode.
This button has no configuration options.
XY Display
The ‘X-Y Display’ button displays current route status
—
in X-Y mode, MD mode,
or in limited X-Y mode. Pressing this button has no effect. It also displays other
messages in other circumstances, as required.
Prior to a take, the ‘X-Y Display’ button displays the preset destination name (and
turns low-tally red if that destination is locked or protected by another user.)
After a take, the ‘X-Y Display’ button also displays the current source name.
If there is no destination selected, the ‘X-Y Display’ button says so.
XY/MD
Mode
Switches the panel between X-Y and multi-destination modes.
The configuration page lets you specify a color for this button, but the color you
specify is ignored. The button is always green for XY mode and amber for multi-
destination mode.
