Version 2.0

2. You can lock the MBC-AN

next to the quad point with the “Scan” function.

Figure 7: Scan

3. In the case the MBC-AN-BOARD is not able to lock on the quad point, you have to

calibrate your MBC-AN-BOARD by using the Calibration menu in the Control
interface.

Calibrating the board

The Calibration mode is used, when you need to set-up the board, for example when you
change the modulator.

1. Select the Calibration Menu in the toolbar. Then enter the following password:
