Setting the Triggering Method
The triggering method is selected using the
Auto
button (on the GUI) or
Timer Auto
key (on the Central module):
Auto
on (lit) = automatic start/stop.
Auto
off (unlit) = manual start/stop.
Manual Timer Operation
To use a timer manually:
1.
First
make sure that the
Auto
button is turned off (unlit).
2.
Then
set the count-up or count-down mode using the up and down arrows.
In count-up mode, the timer counts up from 00:00. In count-down mode, the timer counts down from the
Preset
time (described
earlier).
3.
Use
the start, stop and reset buttons (on the GUI or Central module) to operate the timer as follows.
diamond VX (GUI)
Central Module
Start
- starts the timer from the last stop position/time.
Stop
- stops the timer. The current time remains on-screen until the timer is restarted or reset.
Reset
- resets the timer, either to 00:00 (count-up) or to the
Preset
time (count-down).
In count-down mode, the timer value turns red once the
Alarm
time is reached. If the count-down reaches 00:00, then the
timer starts to count back up.
Automatic Timer Operation
To trigger the timer automatically:
1.
First
make sure that the
Auto
button is turned on (lit).
2.
Then
open the 'Settings
→
Timer' dialog box (from the user menu).
3.
Use
the
Timer Auto Mode
option to set which faders are used:
Mic Only
= the timer
counts only
when a Mic source fader is open (applies to all Mic sources).
All Faders
= the timer counts when any fader is open (applies to all faders).
Note that this option only becomes active
once
Auto
mode is enabled. If
Auto
is turned off, then the timer operation is
manual.
4.
Now set the count-up or count-down mode using the up and down arrows.
In count-up mode, the timer counts up from 00:00. In count-down mode, the timer counts down from the
Preset
time
(described earlier).

Start
and stop the timer by opening and closing the faders on the surface.
