Procedure for TRACKING 1 (absolute value change)

1

Press OUTPUT ALL to turn off the output.

2

Using CONFIG settings, select the channels that will operate in tracking mode 
(CF09: 

OFF

ON

(p.47)

.

3

Set the output values of the channels that will operate in tracking mode.

4

Press TRACK to enter TRACKING 1 mode. If TRACKING 2 is displayed, press 
TRACK SET (SHIFT+TRACK) to change.

TRACKING 1 is shown in the display areas of the channels that will operate in tracking mode.
Press TRACKING SET (SHIFT+TRACK) to switch between TRACKING 1 and TRACKING 2.

5

Press SELECT to select the reference channel for TRACKING 1.

The selected channel is indicated with brackets.

6

Press the OUTPUT key of the channel that will operate in tracking mode to turn the 
output on.

7

Based on the output of the reference channel, turn the rotary knob to set the 
desired output.

To clear the TRACKING 1 operation, press TRACK.
