XY Data
Routing Mode Automatic If a machine control (i.e., data) level is involved in a route, the sys-
tem makes the route on the control level even if the control port is
in use on the source or destination device. It breaks the previous
control connection and then makes a new control connection for
the route in progress.
Semi-automatic
(recommended) If the control port is in use for the source or destination device, the
system takes all (selected) levels except control and allows the
operator to perform the control level route by pressing ‘Take’ a sec-
ond time. The operator may cancel the control-level take by press-
ing a button other than ‘Take.’
If the control port is not in use, the control level take occurs nor-
mally.
Manual If the control port is in use for the source or destination device, the
system takes all (selected) levels except control. It
does not per-
form the control level route.
If the control port is not in use, the control level take occurs nor-
mally.
To carry out a take on a machine control port that is in use, the
operator must first free the port by performing a “tristate” take on
the port, that is, taking the device (as a source) to itself (as a desti-
nation) on the control level.
A take can occur on the machine control level if, in the status col-
umn of the display, the source entry is “FREE.”

An operator can determine whether the control level is free by
switching momentarily to X-Y mode and examining the destina-
tion’s levels.
