Operation
Operating Concepts
(Note that this button is available only when the panel is configured under the ‘Display and
Buttons’ behavioral model).
Special Side Effect
Your panel has two distinct behaviors — not immediately obvious — based in whether it has a
‘VFD/Sel Paging Toggle’ button or not.
If your panel does not have a ‘VFD/Sel Paging Toggle’ button,
1 The ‘Page VFD only’ panel option has meaning.
2 When the ‘Page VFD Only’ option is not in effect, selection buttons scroll (modulo 8) when
the panel’s display scrolls.
3 When the ‘Page VFD Only’ option is in effect, only the panel’s display scrolls.
If your panel does have a ‘VFD/Sel Paging Toggle’ button,
1 The ‘Page VFD only’ panel option has no meaning.
2 When the ‘VFD/Sel Paging Toggle’ button reads ‘Paging LCD Display’, the panel’s display
scrolls.
3 When the ‘VFD/Sel Paging Toggle’ button reads ‘Paging Select Buttons’, the panel’s selection
buttons on the current page scroll.
Under the ‘All Buttons’ model, there is no such side effect.
X-Y Display
The ‘X-Y Display’ button displays status in either X-Y mode or MD mode. It also displays other
messages in other circumstances, as required. Pressing this button has no effect.
Prior to a take, the status includes the selected destination and current source. After a take, the
status includes current source and current destination. The ‘X-Y Display’ button turns low-tally
red if that destination is locked (by anyone) or protected (by another user).
If there is no destination selected, this button says so.
The button appears in whatever color the system assigns it — typically amber or dark red.
 Prior to a take, the preset source name is displayed on any selection buttons present on the
panel. After a take, the selection buttons continue to display the source name, which is now
the current source name.
In MD mode, the X-Y Display button shows (1) current source, (2) preset source, and (3) destina-
tion for one of the selected MD devices
— the first one if more than one are selected.
XY/MD Mode
This button switches the panel between X-Y and multi-destination modes.
The button is green for X-Y mode and amber for multi-destination mode.
The button text changes to read “XY-MD In XY Mode” or “XY-MD In MD Mode” according to the
mode you have selected. The alphanumeric display also reflects the current mode.
Lock, Protect, and Release
In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or
maliciously change by another user.
