5. Operation
Operating Concepts
Save Preset
The ‘Save Preset’ button becomes enabled, in MD mode only, when you have selected a preset (or
multiple presets) for a destination (or multiple destinations). When the operator presses ‘Save Pre-
set’ the panel enters a “save preset” mode where the operator may enter a name under which the
preset will be saved and which can be used later if the operator presses a ‘Load Preset’ button. See
Saving and Loading Presets on page 46.
The button does not operate in X-Y mode.
Source
The button selects a specific source. The source name appears in the ‘Preset’ display.
Selecting a source activates the ‘Take’ button, which you must press to complete the route.
Source Mode
The button places the panel in source mode. Category selections in source mode select source
devices. Category buttons that are not source categories become disabled in source mode.
Categories that include both source and destinations appear in both source mode and destination
mode.
In source mode, a category selection appears at the beginning of the ‘Preset’ display.
Source is Master
Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destination is
the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control routes.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-tally); press it again
to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” machine control routes. See
Broadcast Routes on page 46.
During data level (i.e., machine control) takes, this button makes the source device the master. Oth-
erwise, the destination is the master.
The button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing. For example, if the destination is
the master and the source is the slave, pressing a ‘Source is Master’ button reverses their roles.
Pressing the button again reverses the roles.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is used to initiate “broadcast” control routes. See Broadcast Routes
on page 46.
The panel can be configured so that “source is master” is the default state or so that “destination is
master” is the default. The button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is mas-
ter.”
S Pressing the ‘Source is Master’ button turns off the ‘Broadcast’ button and vice versa.
Src/Dst Mode
The button toggles between source and destination modes. Category selections in source mode
select source devices. Category selections in destination mode select destination devices.
