Button Behavior; Button Groups - AMX CP-3017-TR-US Instruction Manual

Button Behavior

A button can be assigned to one of four banks W, X, Y, or Z. Each bank can have up to four different functions. This is
useful if you have a common set of functions. For example, you could have a single 'Play' button controlling up to four
different devices (e.g. DVD, VCR, CD, MP3 player, etc). To achieve this, you must enable a bank and assign a Play
command to one or more buttons, and then assign the entire bank to another button.

Button Groups

Button Groups allow you to assign buttons to groups and assign custom group names to a group of buttons. With this
feature, you can create feedback events for buttons within groups. You can create up to 8 groups of buttons.
FIG. 46 Button Groups options
Any button can be assigned to more than one group, but the button groups are not
isolated from each other. An event which affects a button, affects the button within
each group to which it is assigned. Cross-group functionality should only be an issue
with button back-lighting and should not affect functionality for an individual button.
