Selection Buttons
Selection buttons are dedicated buttons; they are not configurable. Each selects or deselects the
item on the corresponding line of the display. Button 1 (left) selects what is on line 1 (the top)
and so on.
Selection buttons support level selection in XY mode and device selection in multi-destination
mode. Operators can scroll through multiple pages of levels in X-Y mode and through multiple
pages of devices in MD mode. The operator makes selections from whatever appears on the
display at any given time.
Selection buttons also allow operators to select menus when the panel is in menu mode (or in
setup mode) and to select salvos when the panel is in salvo mode.
Selection (of either levels or MD devices) is affected by ‘Hold’ mode. (See the Hold button,
page 24.) The operator may toggle hold mode at any time. Using the selection buttons follows
hold mode or non-hold mode, whichever is in effect at the moment. Non-hold mode is the
default
— unless you specify otherwise in the Panel Options .
Selection Button Behavior
XY Mode
When the panel is in XY mode, the selection buttons represent the virtual levels present in the
display. If there are fewer than 8 levels in the level set of the current destination device, the
rightmost selection buttons will be dark (disabled) and the bottom lines of the display will be
empty.
If a level is selected, the selection button is high-tally, and there is a rectangular marker at the
right end of the line in the display that shows the level. If a level is not selected, the selection
button is low-tally, and there is no marker for that level.
If the level does not exist for the currently selected destination, the matching selection button is
dark.
If there are more levels than selection buttons, the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons activate
and the operator can scroll through the levels.
 The levels displayed might be level groups: The operator can use ‘Virtual Level Expand’ or
‘Virtual Level Contract’ buttons to expand or collapse the displayed level groups.
MD Mode
When the panel is in MD mode, the selection buttons represent the currently displayed MD
devices.
If an MD device was not defined, the line of the display is blank and the corresponding selection
button is dark. If an MD device is selected, its selection button is high-tally, and there is a marker
at the right end of the line showing the device. If an MD device is not selected, its selection
button is low-tally, and there is no marker for that device.
(Configurers perform MD destination population by clicking on the image of the display and
making entries in the MD device table that appears. See
Multi-Destination Configuration on
page 28.)
