corresponds to one or more signal buses within the

Cross-point button and reentry buttons are respectively
numbered (see page 66).
Assigning signals to button
You can assign a signal to each button using the Setup
menu.
For details on the operation, see “Cross-Point Settings
(Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 19 (Volume 2).
Visual indications on cross-point buttons
For details on the operation, see “Colors of lit cross-point
buttons” (page 67).
b Source name displays
These show the names of the signals which can be selected
on the cross-point buttons, in two or four characters, or in
auto mode.
While the [SHIFT] button or the [SHIFT] button assigned
to the column of cross-point buttons is enabled, the source
name of the signal assigned to the column of cross-point
buttons in shift mode appears. You can select green,
orange, or yellow for the background color of the source
name display, for each source separately. You can set the
source name display mode and background color in a
Setup menu.
c Key row delegation buttons
Use these buttons to assign buses to the key row, copy
keys, or assign DME to keys.
d XPT (cross-point) HOLD button
Turning this button on enables you to recall a keyframe or
snapshot while keeping the current cross-point selection
unchanged.
This function is valid for the background A and B rows.
By means of setup settings, you can also enable this for the
following function blocks.
• Background A and B rows
• Key buses
• Utility 1 and 2 buses
• External DME bus
• DME utility 1 and 2 buses
e SHIFT button
When this button is enabled, either the source name
displays show the shifted signal names, or the shifted
signals for all buses in this M/E (PGM/PST) bank are
enabled.
You can select either mode in a Setup menu.
Each press of the button toggles between the enabled and
disabled states.
Using a Setup menu operation, you can also make this
button function as the [SHIFT] button for the whole cross-
point control block inclusive of the key row and
background A and B rows.
