PATTERN ACTION menu options
Allows you to configure and change patterns from the front panel.
To open this menu, in pattern view, press PATT.
Options include:
• CREATE: If no patterns have been created, this is the only option that is displayed. Allows you to
create a new pattern.
• OPEN: Opens the channels in the selected channel pattern.
• CLOSE: Closes the channels in the selected channel pattern. These closures are appended to
any channels that are already closed.
• EXCLOSE: Closes the channels in the selected pattern so that the channels associated with the
pattern are exclusively closed. Any previously closed channels are opened.
• EXSLOTCLOSE: Exclusively closes the channels in the specified channel pattern for the
selected slots.
• VIEW: Displays the channels that are in the selected pattern.
• DELETE: Deletes the channel pattern.
• RESET: Displays options that allow you to reset the channels in the selected channel pattern to
factory default settings. Resetting a channel pattern causes that pattern to be deleted because
when channels are reset, they delete patterns that contain them.
For information about working with channel patterns, see Channel patterns (on page 5-19).
