Operating Concepts
X-Y Mode
When the panel is in X-Y mode, a selection button represents a virtual level present on the alphanu-
meric display. Pressing one or more selection buttons selects (or deselects) the levels associated
with the buttons. A marker appears in the right-most column of the display for selected levels.
S
When all levels are selected, pressing a level button turns them all off except the one pressed.
S
If there are more than levels than buttons, scrolling is enabled.
Deselecting virtual levels in X-Y mode prepares a breakaway.
Hold mode preserves the level selection after a take. See
MD Mode
When the panel is in MD mode, a selection button represents an MD destination. If there are more
MD destinations than selection buttons, scrolling is enabled. Pressing a selection button selects the
destination.
S
Certain MD destinations might be unassigned. They appear blank in the display and the corre-
sponding buttons are dark.
When your panel is in hold mode, you can select more than one destination at once. If your panel is
not in hold mode, MD destinations are mutually exclusive: you can select only one at a time.
If you have enabled ‘Hold’ mode,
1 Select one or more MD devices. Scroll the MD device display as needed.
2 Select a source.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your presets are complete.
4 Press ‘Take’. The selected MD devices remain selected.
If you have
not
enabled ‘Hold’ mode,
1 Select an MD device. Scroll the MD device display as needed.
2 Select a source.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your presets are complete.
4 Press ‘Take’. The selected MD devices become unselected.
If the configurer has turned on the option, you may redefine any MD destination. To do so is sim-
ple: (1) select an MD destination on a selection button, (2) choose a destination that is not on a
selection button. You might have to navigate or scroll through a destination list to choose one.
Source
A source button selects a source. (Note that a quick source button selects a source and also per-
forms an immediate take.)
Quick source and source buttons are similar, except that the quick source performs a take. Be aware
of which buttons are quick sources so you do not perform an accidental take.
Normally, the button text is the source device’s mnemonic, but the configurer can assign any text to
the button.
