General Purpose keys - GP1, GP2, GP3

You can configure these keys as User Defined Key.

User defined:

By right-clicking (not assigned) in the Lamp Source column, you can either select the key itself as a source or select any source from the logic sources window.
You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or routing to GPOs.
You can change the sequence of the three rows in the Colors area. Drag a row in the Lamp Source column to its new priority place.
The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalisation via GPIs.
