TIP

You can change between a white on black display and a black on white display by using the ALT + FLIP key combination.

Figure 2.4: POD knobs used in a multi-control

screen

POD knobs are also used on some screens to make a selection from a list. In these cases, the screen shows what POD knob should be used to change the selec- tion:

Other screens may use them as buttons which display a pull-up list of options. When the list is shown, the appropriate POD encoder, or the main dial, is used to navigate through the list, and the POD key or ENTER key is used to confirm the entry.

Figure 2.7: POD 1 used with a pull-up menu list

The POD keys may also be used to select “sub- screens” from within a major heading. In this case, simply pressing the appropriate POD key jumps to the next screen: as shown on the “tag”:

Figure 2.8: POD keys used to select sub-screens

TIP

As well as using the POD keys to switch between tabbed pages, you can also make repeated presses of the key that was used to bring up the screen (with the ALT indicator lit if necessary) to change between these pages.

The POD keys may also be used to jump to another screen with a different function.

Figure 2.5: POD knob 4 used as list selector

The POD keys are often used as soft keys to perform an action, as shown on the bottom of the screen (on- screen buttons).

Figure 2.6: POD keys 2 through 4 used as soft keys

Figure 2.9: POD keys 2 and 4 used to jump to

other screens (library screens)

TIP

The POD knobs change values fairly coarsely, but be pressing and holding the SHIFT key (to the left of the unit), the POD knobs can be used for fine adjustment. This behavior can be changed (see “Encoder behavior” on page 23 below).
