Tools

The Tools menu contains three selections:

Clear All Groups - clears all group members and group master parameters.

Increment/Decrement Simulator - allows the user to test increment/decrement values, see below for more information.

Group Details Report - generates a report, listing all group masters and membership.

Clear All Groups

Click Tools > Clear All Groups to delete all groups and reset all group memberships. Soft limits are also cleared.

Increment/Decrement Simulator

The Increment/Decrement Simulator provides a control for increment and decrement, with the ability to set increment and decrement values. This control is temporary, since the value is not remembered in the device.

To use the Increment/Decrement Simulator:

1.Select Tools > Increment/Decrement Simulator.

2.Select the group to be controlled from the Select Group drop-down list. The following dialog box appears:

Figure 50. Increment/Decrement Simulator Dialog Box

NOTE: The Number of Group Members: readout indicates the number of controls affected.

3.Enter an increment value and a decrement value. The default value is 1.

NOTE: The size of the increment can be changed by typing a value in the Increment Value or Decrement Value field. Values can be as large as the maximum range of the control or as fine as 0.1 dB. For groups controlling mute, 1 is the only valid value.

4.Click the Increment and Decrement buttons as needed. The group master control increases or decreases by the set value to the top or bottom of its soft limit range.

NOTE: When set, soft limits cannot be exceeded.
