The following chapter describes the functionality of the grandMA family of consoles that can
be achieved using the command line.
“Command line operation” means using physical keys or the keyboard as opposed to using
the mouse or touchscreen(s).

On some grandMA consoles, particularly the grandMA replay unit, you may not find all of the
described hard keys. In spite of this small disadvantage, you can create a QUIKEY pool
window on the screen and arrange the missing functions there. Then simply use these “soft
keys” instead of the hard keys.

Sometimes the command line asks you a question upon the execution of a command. It can
also inform you about something that went wrong with your command.
If such a message or a question window appears on the display, use the NEXT and PREVIOUS
hard keys to select the appropriate answer (the key with the thick blue border) and then hit
ENTER. Also ESC can be used for simple messages or warnings. If there is a more complex
question and you hit ESC, the action is considered to be CANCELED.
Every command line action that succeeds will appear in the history of all command line
windows.
