memory to be able to use the panel. It is up to the person configuring the panel to design a
usable tree structure.
Some buttons functions are assigned by the system depending on the context. For example. if a
button page is to represent all sources in a category, and that list changes, the button subtree
adjusts in size dynamically. The panel software adds a “forward” button and a “back” button if
there are more sources than buttons. Pressing the ‘Forward’ button takes you to the next page
of sources. Pressing the ‘Back’ button takes you to the previous page of sources.
Some button states depend on context. Many buttons remain unlit when their functions are
disabled. For example, ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons remain unlit until there is an opportu-
nity to scroll up or down, respectively. By default, an XY/MD button turns green for X-Y mode
and amber for multi-destination mode.
The LCD buttons display a menu if the operator presses a menu button. When the operator
make a menu selection, the panel displays viewable data on the LCD buttons. In some cases, the
operator can enter data (such as panel ID or LCD brightness) using buttons that allow data entry.
Configurers can define ‘Selection’ buttons that select a level or an MD device. (They must do so if
the operator is to make such selections.)
Scrolling is necessary when a list of items — for instance, levels or MD devices — exceeds the
number of buttons available for the items. Panels that use multi-destination mode will probably
require ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons.
Alphanumeric Display
The panel can be configured in ‘All-Button’ mode or ‘Display and Button’ mode. In ‘Display and
Button’ mode, the left-most 15 buttons (a 5×3 array) form an alphanumeric display. (These
buttons therefore provide a 40×9 matrix of characters.) The panel operator has the option of
turning the display on or off. When the display is off, the 15 buttons can have other functions.
In ‘All-Button’ mode, the display is not present. In ‘Display and Button’ mode, the display is avail-
able only in the top-level button page.
The alphanumeric display provides real-time feedback for the operators as they make selections
to execute takes and other operations. The panel functions in two modes: X-Y or multi-destina-
tion. The display changes according to those modes. This is an example for X/Y mode:
