Rotary Test Page
The Rotary test page provides you with a way to
check the operation of all rotary encoders on
Control|24. This includes the SCRUB/SHUTTLE
wheel. This test does not include the mic-pre or
submixer analog pots.
To enter Rotary test mode:
1
Press the flashing encoder switch below the la-
bel “Rotary.” The text label “Rotary” will be dis-
played in the dual 4-character scribble strip
displays in the CHANNEL BAR and the channel
scribble strips, beginning with physical strip #1,
will display the rotary test items.
2
The scribble strips will show rotary values
when the channel encoders are rotated.
3
Scribble strip position #24 will display “Exit”
and is used for the obvious purpose and the
switch LED below this scribble strip will flash.
4
When the rotary encoder above this “Exit”
display is being moved, the scribble strip will
show the value and then revert to the “Exit” text
after the rotation.
You can also test the scrub/shuttle wheel on
Control|24. The values of the scrub/shuttle
wheel will be displayed on the far right display
of the dual 4-character scribble strips in the
CHANNEL BAR as soon as Control|24 detects
that the scrub wheel has been rotated. These val-
ues will be shown as 3 characters rather than 2
so that all scrub/shuttle wheel encoder “counts”
can be displayed. When Control|24 detects that
the scrub wheel movement has stopped, these
displays will revert to showing the text “Ro-
tary.”
5
When finished, press EXIT.
Footswitch Pages
About Polarity
The Po choice is the default but its asso-
ciated encoder switch LED will NOT be lit be-
cause this is a two state switch. When the switch
LED is flashing, this indicates that the switch
closure (SW1) is expecting a positive polarity
switch in order to operate the specified function
(PlayStop, Record, or Talkback).
When the Po state is changed by pressing
the flashing encoder switch below the choice,
the switch LED will light solid and the scribble
strip will read “Polarity –” and is now setup for a
negative polarity footswitch.
Press the flashing encoder switch located below
the menu item of choice to enter the SW2 oper-
ating mode desired.
Press the flashing encoder switch below the
scribble strip display that shows “Exit” to exit
the menu and return one level up. You can also
press the flashing UTILITY switch to exit the
UTILITY mode entirely and revert to the previ-
ous Control|24 operating state.
Footswitch 1 Page
This mode allows you to program the function-
ality of an SPST footswitch connected to the
SW1 jack located on the rear panel of Con-
trol|24.
The choices are Play/Stop, Record in/out and re-
mote talkback. You can change also the polarity
of the switch closure.
