Delegation Buttons

The three buttons to the left of the display delegate the Shot Box panel to
M/E 1, M/E 2, or M/E 3, as labeled, or to Master E-MEM. When one
button is illuminated, that M/E is subject to control. When all three buttons
are off, the panel is delegated to Master E-MEM. These buttons are mutu­ally exclusive, such that pressing one button turns off any other currently
selected button, and pressing a currently selected button turns it off, dele­gating the panel to Master E-MEM.

Following standard system operating procedures, when the Shot Box is
delegated to Master E-MEM with Auto Recall off, the Enable buttons on the
Master E-MEM panel control what E-MEM levels are affected by a Shot Box
register recall. When Auto Recall is on, the levels affected can vary with
each Shot Box register recall, depending on what levels were enabled when
the effect was learned.
