Performing Takes
A take is the switching of a signal from a source to a destination. ‘Takes’ are performed using the
control panel; pressing buttons that have been configured to represent specific sources or destina-
tions. Sources may only to taken to destinations on the same level.
There are five types of ‘takes’:
• Normal ‘takes’ have no breakaway; the source and destination are on the same level. See Nor-
mal Takes on page 99.
• A breakaway take has multiple sources on different levels to a destination. See Breakaway
Takes on page 100.
• CP3201 ‘takes’ differ slightly because only the default destination can be selected or dese-
lected. See CP3201 Takes on page 104.
• Machine control ‘takes’ are the same as other compact routers, but the intrinsic nature of the
take is different. See Machine Control Takes on page 106.
• CQX router “clean and quiet” ‘takes’ employ transition type and rate (outputs 1 and 2). See
CQX Takes on page 107. CQX routers also perform normal ‘takes’ similar to other routers on
its auxiliary outputs (3 through 8).
Normal Takes
By normal take we mean non-breakaway take.
First press a destination button and then a source button. The take occurs immediately. The previ-
ous route (for the destination) is lost.
Please note:
• Takes on CP3201s are different. See CP3201 Takes on page 104.
• If a destination is locked, the destination button is usually red, high-tally when selected. You
cannot perform a take for a destination that is locked. See Performing Locks on page 107.
• The meaning of a take for a machine control router is different from ‘takes’ on other routers.
See Machine Control Takes on page 106.
Example — Normal Take in Standard Mode
You want to route source S to destination D.
1 Optionally, select the levels on which you want the take to occur. Potentially, this changes the
sources and destinations enabled for the take. See Level Selection in Standard Mode on
page 110. (Selecting levels prior to the destination does not result in breakaway.)
2 Press destination D.
