Introduction
Control Dial
The Control Dial scrolls through menu options and adjusts values, such as volume. The Control Dial
is used in conjunction with the Select Key to choose commands and values on the LCD.
Select Key
The Select Key enters a selection. In addition, the Select Key can be used to execute presets;
however, the Select Key cannot execute or disconnect switches. Pressing the Take Key executes
or disconnects switches.
Cancel Key
Pressing the Cancel Key clears an incomplete operation and returns the display to the beginning of a
submenu or list. The Cancel Key cannot undo a completed operation, i.e., an operation followed by the
pressing of the Take Key. If the Cancel Key flashes, an error has occurred; a flashing Cancel Key must
be pressed before continuing.
Take Key
The Take Key functions much like the Enter Key on a computer keyboard. Pressing the Take Key
instructs the system to execute or disconnect a switch. Prior to pressing the Take Key, the individual
operation component(s) are selected by pressing the appropriate key(s).
Input & Output Keys
Input and Output Keys correspond to the input and output connections on the rear of the enclosure.
These keys are used to select the inputs and outputs for routing source signals to destination devices
as well as for status and audio operations. Input Keys are also used for locking and unlocking the
control panel.
When an Input or Output Key is pressed, the channel name displays on the LCD. Hold the key down to
display the name longer. The default channel name (e.g., O_Ch:0003 for Output 3) appears unless the
name has been modified in the configuration file* using XNConnect. While XNConnect allows for the
creation of channel names up to 24 characters long, the CP-15 displays only the first 20 characters.

* The configuration file (.xcl file) contains routing and control information for a system and is modified
with XNConnect, which graphically displays the configuration file. Both the configuration file and
XNConnect are on the AMX AutoPatch CD.
