If the channel is mono, both meters are used and will show the same level. If the
channel (input or output) has been defined as stereo, the two meters will show
the signal level in the left and right legs of the stereo channel.
The default source for the bargraph meters is Post Fader, but this may be changed
to Pre Fader on the Control Screen’s Meter Options page; where alternatives
to Auto mode may also be found. From here, it is possible to select the meter
source to be fixed to any of the input or output layers, independent of the layer
selected. See the Software Manual for full details.
In addition to the fader bay meters, each channel strip - input or output - on the
Main Screen includes a small virtual bargraph (again, dual on stereo channels).
The source for these may also be selected as Pre Fader or Post Fader on the
Meter Options page as described above, so the engineer can see both pre-fade
and post-fade signal levels simultaneously. The meters are at the bottom of the
channel strip, immediately above the lower encoders.
Using the encoders
Each main screen has 28 rotary encoders around its perimeter – 16 horizontally
below the screen and 12 vertically to the right of the screen. The encoders have
a push function, which is used in certain console operations.
