Control Panel Operation
Control Panel Overview
The Enova DGX Control Panels (standard on all enclosures) are used for controlling system switches and system
attributes. All Enova DGX Switcher control panels function the same, but have input and output key support respective
to their size.
Note:
For information on additional control options, see page 29.
The Control Panel has an LCD, a Function Key, Control Dial, Select Key, Cancel Key, Take Key, Input and Output Keys,
and Power Indicator. The Control Dial and Select Key work together for scrolling through the menu items displayed on
the LCD to place the system into various modes (the types of operations, e.g., Change Mode to execute switches) or to
access lists for control operations. Once in the desired mode, use the Input and Output Keys to select values and the Take
Key to execute the operations (some modes require using the Control Dial and Select Key to select values).
Control Keys and Dial
Function Key
The Function Key accesses the Function menu on the LCD. As the Control Dial is scrolled, the menu displays the
various command options, e.g., Change and Status. The Function Key can be pressed at any time to return the display to
the Function menu. For an overview of the menu options, see page 131.
Select Key
The Select Key enters a selection. In addition, the Select Key can be used to execute global or local presets. However,
the Select Key
cannot
execute or disconnect switches. Pressing the Take key executes or disconnects switches.
Cancel Key
Pressing the Cancel Key clears an incomplete operation and returns the display to the beginning of a submenu or list.
The Cancel Key
cannot
undo a completed operation, e.g., an operation followed by the pressing of the Take Key. If the
Cancel Key flashes, an error has occurred; a flashing Cancel Key
must
be pressed before continuing.
Take Key
The Take Key functions much like the Enter Key on a computer keyboard. Pressing the Take Key instructs the system to
execute or disconnect a switch. Prior to pressing the Take Key, the individual operation component(s) are selected by
pressing the appropriate key(s).
Control Dial
The Control Dial scrolls through the menu options and adjusts values. The Control Dial is used in conjunction with the
Select Key to choose the commands and values on the LCD and change virtual matrices between standard virtual matrix
configurations and any custom virtual matrices.
