Tick Tone Control
Tick tone control is a function which can be used to control tick tones in a zone. In an AB system it is possible to start two different tick tones in the same zone (zone A and zone B) at the same time which allows for a quicker check of the systems.
The function can be assigned to both DAK keys and control inputs.
