CHAPTER 3: USING COMPASS TOOLS

Separating Select and Link Group Behaviors

By default link groups are used to enable selection of many channels simultaneously, as described above.

An alternative behavior is available in which the channels in a link group are linked regardless of their select status. This allows you to create two levels of channel linking: one of channels linked by their Select status, and one of channels linked by their Link group.

1.Select the Compass > Channel Linking Preferences page.

2.Set Link Groups and Selects Mode to Enabled Link Group channels are linked independently and in addition to selected channels.

3.Set Isolate Linking Behavior:

Select Isolated channels will not be included when linking from another channel if you want isolated channels to be entirely excluded from link group control linking.

Select Isolated channels will be included when linking from another channel if you want isolated channels to be included in link groups control linking. Changes made to controls in the isolated channel will not effect changes in other channels, but changes in other channels in the link group will effect changes in the isolated channel.

4.Select the [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Link Groups page.

5.Assign the appropriate channels to a single link group. Enable that link group. Linked channels have a dark blue (light blue) background.

Linking behavior can be momentarily disabled by holding the ‹ Cmd › key when mousing or using ‹ Cmd+Enter › when entering a control value.

Quickly See Which Channels Are Linked

Channels belonging to a link group have a dark blue (light blue) background; channels which are actively selected have a dark green (light green) background. While these colors provide visual feedback that a change to a control is going to effect changes in other channels, you may want to know precisely which channels are going to change. The following procedure will assist:
