11.2 Self-Defined Screen Hierarchy
The screen hierarchy can be adapted to system-specific requirements and be
modified either in part or in whole. Screens can be removed or added.
Screens can be linked together in random order. The configuration, sequence
of the link, inclusion in the screen directory and the relevant cross-jump
destinations are defined during configuration with ProTool/Lite.
You branch between the different screens by means of soft keys and
configured cross-jump destinations. You can branch repeatedly to the same
screen. This is illustrated in figure 11-1 by screens 4 and 6. Cross-jumps are
not restricted to screen level, but can branch to the message level too.
Another feature that is configured is the picture you want to have displayed
on the OP3 as your start screen.
