Leave Update is a transition mode that provides a means of zeroing the offset being

5.9.10 Offset Write (Manual Faders)
Offset Write is a Write mode that allows seamless entry and exit between Update and
Write modes without having to match fader and data levels. When Offset Write is entered
from Update mode, the level being written matches the data level in effect at the time of
entry. This means that the level being written may be offset from the actual position of
the fader. When Update is returned to from Offset Write, the Write and Update levels are
matched for a seamless exit.
■
Write and Offset Write
