Data Dial
The data entry dial provides a fast, efficient way to cover a broad range of voice
numbers when, for example, you’re looking for a voice but don’t know the voice number.
It’s also handy for making large value changes in any of the edit modes.
The data dial is “speed sensitive”, allowing accurate single step selection when
rotated slowly as well as large value “jumps” when rotated quickly.
