The Protocol control only mode allows you to only monitor play channel operations
and view clip information. All control comes from the external device. The buttons,
menu items, and other interface controls are disabled. You can select this mode by
choosing the

Protocol control only

option in the Options dialog box. (

See “Selecting

the control port and control mode” on page 282

.)
