General Rules - Barco S3 User Manual

DEST 1 ENTER
Further there are modifiers to the syntax:
DEST 1 + 3 ENTER
Or:
DEST 1 Thru 3
ENTER
You can probably see how efficient this is when you have lots of destinations.
Your modifiers are:
– , +, Thru to add or subtract from the selected function.
There are several examples below in this manual to understand how this can work in favor of the user.
Numbering
Destination, Layer, Source, Cue, Preset, and Userkey all have a number and a name that are independent from each other. The
Default name include the number, but does not need to remain in order to recall over syntax.
There are further functions that can be controlled with syntax like screens, layouts and such. This is further described below.
There are also a range of combined button presses that is meant to speed up the programming and control.
Contextual Buttons
Image 12-5
The 12 Contextual Buttons to the left of the NumPad is used to add situational functionality to the syntax. Certain button presses
changes the displays naming and the buttons function. They are referred to as CD1 thru 12 per row from the top left.

General rules

Note that all possible syntax is not supported.
A few general rules:
• Any Syntax entry must end with ENTER.
• Any Syntax is max 3 Functions deep before ENTER.
• In the case of unsupported syntax it will just not work or register.
The Syntax Feedback line in the Controller Menu Page is a huge help to understand what is supported and
not.
