3.2.2 Navigation
To move around the screens, click on the buttons in FastNav®; see section 3.2.1. Further screens, such
as the input and output response graphs, routing page and those from the buttons on the input and
output channel control panels, are all available from the DN9848 Units Home screen; see section 3.4.3.
3.2.3 Tool tips
‘Tool tips’ are boxes that appear for a short while
underneath the cursor when it pauses over certain
objects. These boxes contain a single line of text that
gives you useful information on the object, such as
the range of adjustment on a control knob (diagram
right), the function of a button or the description of a
field.
3.2.4 Using the on-screen controls
This section gives details on adjusting or resetting the on-screen controls, such as control knobs, faders
etc.
To adjust a control knob
1 Click on control knob to select it. A dotted box surrounding the
object will appear to indicate that it has been selected (see
diagram right).
2 Once selected you can adjust the control knob’s setting – shown in
the white box directly underneath - via the mouse or laptop/PC
keyboard; a combination of both may also be useful. The
on-screen control knob will rotate and the setting value will alter
accordingly.
Mouse: To adjust the value using the mouse, position the cursor within the dotted box and
click the left-hand mouse button. Then, while holding down the button, move the mouse to
make the required adjustment. The way in which the mouse movements alter the setting
depend on the Knob Mouse Direction configuration, see Section 6.4. When you have achieved
the required setting value, release left-hand mouse button. If you run out of adjustment
due to cursor reaching edge of screen, which may happen on the Delay control knobs due to
the large amount of adjustment available, select control knob again and repeat adjustment.
Keyboard: Using certain keys on your laptop/PC keyboard you can adjust the control knob
in regular increments (with the exception of frequency, which has a logarithmic scale). The
increment value is dependent on control knob function, adjustment range and unit type.
The keys give the following type of adjustment for each control knob, irrespective of Knob
Mouse Direction configuration:
Home and End keys take you to the minimum and maximum values, respectively.
Page Up and Page Down keys give coarse adjustment in positive and negative directions,
respectively. To protect the system these keys do not function for grouping rotaries.
u and v arrow keys give moderate adjustment in positive and negative directions,
respectively. To protect the system these keys do not function for grouping rotaries.
s and t arrow keys give fine adjustment in negative and positive directions,
respectively.
