<A NAME="Switcher">Switcher</A>
</H2>
A Switcher element has two output paths to which it can direct
incoming data.  This disposition is under the control of 'Director'
events on a separate command input.  It can elect to send the
data out either or both of the outputs.  All arriving data is
directed in the same way -- the Switcher neither knows nor cares
what kind of data is passing through.
<P>
Only Director data generated by special modules, such as
<A HREF="TriggerSwitch">TriggerSwitch</A> can be used to affect
the state.  A single director event can contain more than one code
value.
<h4>
Inputs
</h4>
<UL Type="none">
<LI> <B>Through</B> -- Incoming data to be switched
<LI> <B>Control</B> -- Director input (Non-control data is ignored)
</UL>
<h4>
Outputs
</h4>
<UL Type="none">
<LI> <B>Through</B> -- First output path
<LI> <B>Diverted</B> -- Second output path
<LI> <B>Control</B> -- Pass-through of Director input
</UL>
<P>
<h4>
Control Panel
</h4>
This has four columns of toggle buttons, with 16 rows
-- one for each possible director code that it can respond to.
(The toggles are interconnected so that only one can be set in each row.)
An arriving event with any code matching a set-toggle
switches the element to that state. (Conflicting multiple codes
in a signal have right-to-left column priority.)
<P>
It also has an Indicator/Popup at the top that shows the current
switching state, and may be used to directly set this state.
<P>
<B>Columns/States:</B>
<UL Type="none">
<LI> <B>Pass</B> -- Data only goes out the 'Through' connection
<LI> <B>Divert</B> -- Data only goes out the 'Diverted' connection
<LI> <B>Dupe</B> -- Data goes out both paths
<LI> <B>Stop</B> -- No data will be passed on from this element
</UL>
