Time Code Display Test
(Main Unit Only)
The Time Code Display test cycles through a series of auto-
mated tests that check all LED segments on the Main Unit
Time Code display.
To exit Time Code Display Test mode:
„
Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “Escape.”
Fader Test Page
The Fader Test page provides four test modes and a calibration
mode:
• Step: Fader Step Test Mode
• Cycle: Fader Cycle Test Mode
• Group: Fader Group Test Mode
• Touch: Fader Touch Test Mode
• Recal: Recalibrates Faders
To display the Fader Test page:
„
From the Test Setup page, press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or
encoder Select switch (Fader Module) that corresponds to
“Fader.”
To exit the Fader Test page:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to “Escape.”
To enter any of the Fader Test modes:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or the encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to the test name.
Step Test Mode
In Step Test mode, faders jump together, in stepped fashion, to
positions that are adjustable with the Scrub/Shuttle wheel
(Main Unit) or any encoder knob (Fader Module).
To exit Step Test mode:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to “Escape.”
Cycle Test Mode
In Cycle Test mode, faders move together, from the bottom to
top, in a continuous cycle, at a speed that is adjustable with
the Scrub/Shuttle wheel (Main Unit) or any encoder knob
(Fader Module).
Fader position values are shown in the channel displays and
are updated in real time as the faders move.
To exit Cycle Test mode:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to “Escape.”
Group Test Mode
In Group Test mode, faders can be moved to test group re-
sponse.
This mode displays which faders are currently being touched
by showing the letter “T” in their channel displays.
To exit Group Test mode:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to “Escape.”
Touch Test Mode
The Touch Test page lets you test the touch sensitivity of each
fader. The channel displays show when a fader is touched and
what frequency the fader is currently recognizing. The fader
frequency value is updated in real time.
This mode displays which faders are currently being touched
by showing the letter “T” in their channel displays.
To exit Touch Test mode:
„
Press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or encoder Select switch
(Fader Module) that corresponds to “Escape.”
Recal
The Recal command recalibrates D-Control fader touch sensi-
tivity and position to factory specifications.
In addition, under conditions of heavy use, the D-Control
fader motor protection feature may disengage a fader if it is in
danger of overheating. The Recal command reengages any dis-
engaged faders.
To recalibrate the faders:
„
From the Fader Test page, press the Soft Key (Main Unit) or
the encoder Select switch (Fader Module) that corresponds to
“Recal.”
