Meyer Sound galileo 616 operating instructions Using Value Boxes

COMPASS USER GUIDE

Some pages have tabs within the page itself, providing access to a series of sub-pages that further organize controls. On the Input Processing and Output Processing pages these tabs can be hidden or the sub-pages collapsed, freeing up additional space for the plot curve display.

The color of the tab indicates the network status of the Galileo unit. Working Galileos have a blue tab; disconnected Galileos have a red tab. If there are network communication errors, the tab will turn yellow and, if the network is in a stall condition, magenta.

Throughout this guide the selection of tabs is indicated as a sequence: Compass > Compass Preferences indicates that the Compass tab should be selected, followed by the Compass Preferences tab. This convention is sometimes extended to include the name of a specific control or group of controls within the page.

When directing you to a page that is specific to a particular Galileo unit the name of the unit is not included: for instance, the [Galileo Unit] > Input Processing > Parametric EQ page is a sub-page of a specific Galileo, but this manual cannot know in advance what name you have given the Galileo: you will need to click the name of that Galileo before clicking the Input Processing tab.

Using Value Boxes

Value boxes provide a place to type a name or number to set a value. Visually, the value box is presented as a raised box containing the name or value of the setting. Clicking in the box places the text input cursor — a blinking vertical bar — in the box.

With the default setting of Compass > Compass Preferences > User

Interface Display and Control Options > Select All Text When Entering

Text Field, the value is automatically selected: typing will immediately replace the value. If this setting is cleared, typing will be inserted at the cursor.

Pressing ‹ Enter › or ‹ Return › sets the new value. If ‹ Esc › is pressed instead, the original value is restored. You can also use ‹ Cmd+Z › to undo changes.
