SMART MATRIX QUILT Operation 

 

SMART MATRIX QUILT 

2 - 5 

 

Immediate Function Activation through the SMART MATRIX 
Buttons 

The 6 blue buttons (B1 ~ B6) allow you to directly activate some system functions without passing through 
the menu items. Such functions are indicated by the icons associated with the buttons, as shown on the 
following figure. 
The detailed explanation of the various function will be provided on next paragraphs. 
The following examples are only provided to summarize the Button 

 Function association. 

Within some configuration/parameter setting functions, the B1 ~ B6 buttons may also perform a “shortcut” 
function, which will be explained each time.
