X-Groove Override

How to override or "jump out" cross-groove detection on newer Stagehand controllers

Where can you jump the signal?

The ideal location is to jump out the signal from the machine that does not include cross groove detection. This way the Stagehand can still function correctly with other machines that do have cross groove detection without having to alter the Stagehand every time.

If you do not have access to the machine for whatever reason, or you would prefer not to alter the machine, you can jump the signal from the Stagehand.
