Assigning a Take Button
If you want to pre-load a switch sequence but delay the switch, assign a take button on the menu. If a take button is
assigned, then all switches on that menu are activated by pressing the TAKE button instead of the
source/crosspoint/macro button. You should assign a take button on each menu that requires this switching type.
To assign a take button:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, select the button that you want to use for the take button.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Function Key.
4. In the Value field, select Take as the function to assign to this button.
5. Close the Button configuration box.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows the take on the selected button.
6. Send the current configuration file to the device (see "Sending a Configuration File to a Device" on
page 4–33).

If a take button is assigned, the selected source/crosspoint/macro button and the take button flash to indicate that
the remote control panel is waiting for TAKE to be pressed.
Assigning a Chop Button
If you want to toggle two different sources to the same destination, assign a chop button to the RCP-QE. For
example, the destination may be the monitor that you are viewing, and the sources may be feeds from two different
camera locations. When you use the chop button, the toggle rate can be slow or fast (see "Toggling Between Two
Sources" on page 5–6).
To assign a chop button:
1. Open the RCP-QE Panel Configuration editor (see "Opening the RCP-QE Panel Configuration Editor" on
page 4–4).
2. On the simulated RCP-QE, select the button that you want to use for the chop button.
The Button configuration box opens.
3. In the Button list, select Function Key.
4. In the Value field, select Chop as the function to assign to this button.
5. Close the Button configuration box.
The simulated RCP-QE in DashBoard shows the chop on the selected button.
6. Send the current configuration file to the device (see "Sending a Configuration File to a Device" on
page 4–33).
Assigning a Panel Lock Button
It may be necessary at times to lock the RCP-QE from access to the front panel. If this function is required, assign a
panel lock button. You can also lock the RCP-QE using the Panel Locked check box on the Configuration tab (see
"Locking an RCP-QE" on page 4–27). When a panel lock is applied, changes to the RCP-QE can still be made
through the Panel Configuration editor in DashBoard.
