Configuration
Multi-Destination Configuration
The operator can preset another source to another set of destinations by deselecting
selected destinations, selecting other destinations, and selecting another source.
When all intended destinations are preset, the operator then presses ‘Take’.
(In hold mode, selected MD devices remain selected after the take. In non-hold mode, any
selected MD devices become unselected after the take.)
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices that the operator may
use in the ways supported by MD mode. You can configure a panel to have from 8 to 512
MD destinations in increments of 8 destinations. Not all of those need be used. Those that
are not used are considered “undefined.”

It is possible to have duplicate entries in the MD destination set. For example, it might
be useful to have one or two MD destinations available at all times.
Multi-destination configuration uses the display portion of the panel graphic in the panel
configuration page. It also uses ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons
— also in the panel
graphic — to select a group of MD destinations that will appear in the display. The display
scrolls by 8 lines when you click a scroll button.
The limit to the number of MD devices is controlled by a panel option. If the limit is 64, for
example, the display can scroll through 8 pages of 8 rows, regardless of whether these rows
have been assigned a destination device.
Initially the list of MD destinations is empty and all you will see in the display are numbered
blank lines. After you assign MD destinations to the numbered lines, the destinations’
mnemonics appears on those lines.
