8 – Remote operation : Selecting devices for transport control

When the scan is complete, a pop-up screen appears, showing the detected devices and their assignments to the control maps.

Any selected devices that may be controlled are detected and a new map is created for each such device.

A message is shown if there are more devices con- nected than can be added to the list (that is, more than 10).

If there are IDs associated with the devices, these are also shown.

To use a transport mapping

Of course, at least one transport mapping must exist before this operation can be carried out.

1Press and hold down the MACHINE SEL (F7) key.

2Press the numeric key corresponding to the map you want to use (0 through 9).

The DM-3200’s transport control keys will now con- trol the device selected in that map and the other mapping features will also be enabled. A popup shows the currently-recalled memory (or a message if no mapping has been recalled).

The MAP field at the lower part of the screen shows the currently-loaded map.

Viewing the transport mappings

To view the transport mappings (that is, the list of the devices that will be controlled in each mapping):

1Press and hold SHIFT and press the LOCATE LIST (F8) key. The device controlled in each map, together with its ID, is shown.

2Press the ENTER key to continue operations.

Editing a mapping

When a mapping has been made, parameters other than the transport control may be edited (for instance, the use of the REC keys).

To make these changes a permanent part of the cur- rently-loaded map:

1Move the cursor to the number by the MAP field.

2Use the dial to select the mapping memory into which the current mapping will be stored. Press ENTER.

3Press ENTER (the on-screen STORE button).
