Operation
Data Routing
Automatic Data Routing
A take involving a machine control level occurs naturally on all selected levels, including the
machine control level, regardless of whether an affected machine control port is in use. The
system breaks any existing control connections involved with the source and destination
and makes a new control connection for the source and destination.
This data routing option applies in both operating modes.
Manual Data Routing
If a control port for the source or destination is “in use,” a take involving a machine control
level occurs on all levels
except the machine control level. You must break either the
source’s control connection, the destination’s control connection, or both of those existing
connections before you can take the source to the destination on the machine control level.
To break a connection, route a device (as a source) to itself (as a destination) on the
machine control level. When the connection is broken, the status column of the display
reads “FREE” for the machine control level (in X-Y mode). If your panel is in multi-destination
mode, you might switch to X-Y mode momentarily to see this.
When a take involving a machine control level is blocked on the control level, the display
displays the message “Control In Use.”
If neither of the control ports for the source or destination are in use, the take occurs
naturally without any further action required. Note that the ports will become “in use” after
the take you are performing.
This data routing option applies in both operating modes.
Semi-Automatic Data Routing
This data routing option applies only in X-Y mode.
If a control port for the source or destination is “in use,” a take involving a machine control
level occurs on all levels
except the machine control level. Nevertheless, you are given the
opportunity to complete the take on the machine control level by pressing the ‘Take’
button a second time.
If neither of the control ports for the source or destination are in use, the take occurs
naturally without any further action required. Note that the ports will become “in use” after
the take you are performing.
Follow these steps to take the data level as a breakaway:
1 Select a destination.
2 Select a source.
3 Examine the display and the take button.
4 If the display shows “Control in Use” and the Take button is still high-tally, press the
‘Take’ button again to complete the take.
You can cancel the control-level take by pressing a button other than ‘Take’.
