OPERATION

Note:

Sensitivity and Acceleration will automatically adapt to the type of value the encoders are controlling. Steps

for setting up the day of a month for example will have a different speed and acceleration than setting a DMX default
value or a percentage.

Figure 73: Encoder Setup Window

Encoder Sensitivity defines the amount of rotation needed, until the value will be decreased or increased, whereas the
Encoder Acceleration specifies the amount of additional speed-up if the encoder is turned faster. You may use the
encoders to test the settings while this screen is shown (

Figure 73

).
