Checking Status of Multiple Levels
There are two ways to check status on more than one level:
— Press LEVEL, then press one of the six “temporary level” keys. The name of the selected level will appear in
the Preset window; the status of the selected level with be shown in the Current window.
— Press PRESET, then press LEVEL repeatedly to step through the levels. The name of the selected level will
appear in the Preset window; the status of the selected level will be shown in the Current window. You can also
use UP/DOWN to step through the levels.
Breakaway Switching − Sticky Level(s)
This function allows breakaway operation during which the selected Levels remain selected after a TAKE. For example, you
may want to keep switching different video test signals to a destination but not switch audio tone. To turn on sticky mode:
1. Press MENU three times.
The word “STICKY” appears in the Current window.
2. Use UP/DOWN to toggle the display to “ON?”
3. Press TAKE.
If more than six levels have been defined, UP/DOWN will increment through additional pages of levels. When multiple
pages of levels exist, the Preset display will prompt PG 1 (2, 3, etc.) next to the “ON,” and allow the user to select addi-
tional pages for toggling on or off the level.
This activates the six “temporary level” buttons (the outlined buttons in Figure 6−116). Lighted buttons initially indicate
defined levels.
