13. Operating Panels
Control Panel Buttons
These modes control level selection in quite different ways. Operators will need to know how lev-
els are managed in the panels they use. See
Remote Panel Operating Modes on page 68 for defini-
tions.
Red Buttons
Depending on context, red means:
• Lock.
• Breakaway. (Applicable to all panels except the CQX panel.)
• Occasionally, red can also indicate an unintentional breakaway that occurs as result of an
improper configuration. (Applicable to all panels except the CQX panel.)
Button Order
The order in which buttons display on a control panel affect the meaning of level buttons. All pan-
els except the CQX panel are impacted by button ordering because CQX panels do not have config-
urable buttons or levels.
Spatial Ordering
Buttons on a control panel are numbered from left to right, and then from top to bottom.
The button order affects the meaning of level buttons in standard mode: level buttons with lower
numbers have precedence over buttons with higher numbers.
Briefly stated, on any button row, level buttons to the left have higher precedence than buttons to
the right. All buttons on an upper row have higher precedence than any button on rows below that
row.
Some button numbers do not correspond to an actual button. See Performing Level Selection on
page 109.
Temporal Ordering
In standard mode, the order in which you press level buttons affects the outcome. After a level
selection, the order in which the buttons were pressed is no longer apparent. Any set of selected
levels can therefore represent a number of different sets of sources and destinations. See
Perform-
ing Level Selection on page 109.
Button Illumination
Button illumination is applicable to all panels except the CQX panel because CQX panels do not
have configurable buttons or levels.
To discuss button lighting, there are some terms that are helpful when clarifying button states:
Current destination
The destination that is currently selected.
Routed source A source that matches or partially matches what is routed to the current
destination.
Primary level The first configured level for the destination button.
Primary source The routed source on the primary level.
