Temporal Ordering
(This means the order in which you press buttons.)
In standard mode, the order in which you press level buttons affects the outcome of your opera-
tion. However, after a level selection, the order in which the buttons were pressed is no longer
evident. Any set of selected levels can therefore represent a number of different sets of sources
and destinations.
(In enhanced mode, the button pressing order is irrelevant.)
See
Button Illumination
Button illumination is applicable to all panels. To discuss button lighting, there are some terms
that are helpful when discussing 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.
Figure 6-4 illustrates the terms:
Fig. 6-4: Buttons on a Panel
In this illustration, blue buttons are routed sources. The brown button is the current destination.
Yellow buttons are selected levels. Buttons without any specific color are unselected.
In this example, the destination uses levels A, B, and C. Level A is the primary level because it is
the first. Source 1 is the primary source because it routes level A (indicated by the letter A over
the source button).
(The example uses blue, brown, and yellow buttons for the purpose of discussion. Real control
panels have green, amber, and red buttons.)
Source Button Colors
In a normal (non-breakaway) take, the (single) source button selected is always high-tally green
(or possibly amber, on a CP32-6464).
In a breakaway in enhanced mode, the primary source is high-tally green (or possibly amber, on
a CP32-6464). Non-primary sources taken are high-tally red.
In a breakaway in standard mode, all taken sources are high-tally green (or possibly amber, on a
CP32-6464).
