None — The User Function button is not active. The none function is helpful to mask commands that you want available when needed but that you can disable when not needed, such as a reset. To make a none function, you must select momentary or toggle, enter the command, and then select none.

Momentary — The User Function button is defined as a momentary contact “switch” and one or more SIS commands are programmed for that button in the Activate field associated with that button. The FPC issues the command to the Matrix 12800 when the button is touched. The User Function button remains white. The momentary function is useful for a stand-alone Matrix 12800 command, such as recalling a preset.

Toggle — The User Function button is defined as a two-position “toggle switch” and two separate SIS commands or SIS macros are defined to it, the first in the associated Activate field and the second in the Deactivate field. The FPC issues the first command to the Matrix 12800 when the button is touched to toggle it on and issues the second command when the button is

touched to toggle it off. The User Function button indicates purple when the switch is toggled on and indicates white when toggled off, as shown at right. The toggle function is useful for Matrix 12800 functions that you want to turn on and off, such as a global mute.
