User’s Guide
Selection Selection buttons have many functions, not the least of which is to give feedback
(e.g., source and destination mnemonics) when the operator is performing takes.
When the panel is in XY mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of virtual
levels for the selected destination device. If there are more levels than selection
buttons, the operator can use ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’ buttons to scroll through
the virtual level list.
 Note that the up/down buttons next to the display scroll the display, and do
not scroll the level list represented on the selection buttons. Operators need
‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons to scroll the MD devices on the selection
buttons.
When the panel is in MD mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of MD
devices. If there are more destinations than selection buttons, the up/down
buttons activate and the operator can scroll through the destination list
— on
the display.
 Here too, note that the up/down buttons next to the display scroll the
display, and do not scroll the MD destination list represented on the selection
buttons.
See Selection Buttons on page 35 for further detail.
During configuration, when you assign a selection button, two additional drop-
down menus appear: ‘Display Index’ and ‘Multidst Device’. The ‘Multidst Device’
field does not become enabled until you choose a display index.
The drop-down menu for the button’s display index has as many entries as the
current page has selection buttons, but only up to a limit of 8. You must choose a
display index for the selection button. Normally, your set of display indexes
would be sequential from left to right.
The drop-down menu for the multi-destination device allows you to specify the
MD destination for the button. Do this for all the destination devices that you
want to be selectable in MD mode.
On the configuration page, when there are more MD devices than selection
buttons, you can double-click a ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’ button to scroll
through the set of MD devices to assign them to selection buttons. (You can
have up to 512 MD devices, in multiples of 8. See the ‘Multidest Device Limit’ box
under
Panel Options on page 19.) You do not have to commit every MD device to
a button. MD buttons that are uncommitted are no-ops.
Source A source button selects a source. (Note that a quick source button selects a
source and also performs an immediate take.)
When you assign a source button, a drop-down menu appears: ‘Source Device’.
Choose a device from the list.
The ‘None’ entry is merely a placeholder. Do not choose ‘None’.
