Menus; Setting Up Menus - Ross Ultricore RCP-ME User Manual

Menus

Menus can be used to group together certain functionality within the RCP-ME system. Each menu page provides a
new set of 40 buttons that you can assign with new functions.
What is a Menu button?
A specific menu destination assigned to a button. You can set the button to return to Menu Number 1 (Home), the
next or previously visited menu, or go up or down a menu as defined on the Menu Details tab in the Panel Config
interface.

Setting Up Menus

You can store up to 250 menu pages in the RCP-ME. You can also define the fallback mode. This is what happens
after an activity has been performed in a particular menu.
For example, if you set up a menu containing all the breakaways, another menu containing all the destinations, and
another menu containing all the sources, you can set up the menus so that once you have selected a breakaway, the
menu containing all the destinations is shown so that you can select a particular destination device. Following this,
the menu containing all the sources is shown so that you can select a particular source device.
Another use may be to define all the different classes of inputs, then assign these to menu links on the top row of
buttons on the RCP-ME for each menu page. This process can then be repeated for outputs. When this configuration
is used, the top row of buttons always stays the same for each menu and it is the function of the bottom row of
buttons that changes from menu to menu.

By default, the first menu is defined as Menu 0, not Menu 1.
