Fig. 46: Board Status Menu

Remote Control: Channels Menu

By typing

D

it is possible to monitor and set all the channels parameters listed at p.15

Fig. 47: Channels Menu

In order to change one parameter: point the parameter with the arrow keys (see figure below), and type the

desired value, confirm by pressing <Enter>; Power and Power Down can be changed using the <Space> bar.

Fig. 48: PC keyboard

When one parameter is active, by typing G it is possible to make a “group setting”, i.e. broadcast the same value to

all channels (the parameter becomes active on all channels, see figure).
