6.

Touch the

Linked

Bus

data pad again in the Table Setup pane and select

another linked bus.

Repeat this process for each controlling and linked bus you wish to add
to the cascading links.

7.

If desired, assign different source tables to the bus links:

a.

Touch a

Linked

Bus data pad in the Current Link pane.

b.

Touch a source table in the Table Setup pane.

Note that the

Inhibit All Links

button at the bottom of the Current Links pane

must be off for the links to be active.

Bus Linking Restrictions

The Switched Preview, Primary Preview, and Image Store input buses
cannot be configured as Linked buses.

An Aux bus associated with a DPM cannot be configured as a Control-
ling bus. However, these buses may be configured as Linked buses.

Link Management

Individual bus links are enabled and disabled with the

Link Enable

button in

the Controlling bus pane. When enabled, commands will be sent from the
Controlling bus to the Linked bus, provided all links are not inhibited (see
below). Link Enable is keyframeable.

Other controls on this menu can be used to manage bus links.

Bus Hold Inhibits Links

– This control affects the behavior of the Control Panel

Hold

button for all Linked buses. When

Bus Hold Inhibits Links

is On and the

Hold

button on a Linked bus is also On, that Linked bus will ignore bus link

commands and will not change sources when Controlling bus sources
change. Note that the

Hold

button retains its existing functionality, keeping

that bus from changing sources when an E-MEM register is recalled.

Inhibit All Links

– Overrides all

Link Enable

settings to disable all active bus

links. This does not change the individual

Link Enable

settings, however.

Turning

Disable All Links

off will re-enable any bus links with

Link Enable

on.

Bus Linking Operation

Once the Bus Linking associations have been established and are enabled,
selecting a source on a Controlling bus that is associated with a source on a
Linked bus will make the Linked bus select its associated source. The fol-
lowing special operating rules apply.
