TIP
You can change between a white on black display and a
black on white display by using the
ALT
+
FLIP
key
combination.
POD knobs are also used on some screens to make a
selection from a list. In these cases, the screen shows
what POD knob should be used to change the selec-
tion:
The POD keys are often used as soft keys to perform
an action, as shown on the bottom of the screen (on-
screen buttons).
Other screens may use them as buttons which display
a pull-up list of options. When the list is shown, the
appropriate POD encoder, or the main wheel, is used
to navigate through the list, and the POD key or
ENTER
key is used to confirm the entry.
The POD keys may also be used to select “sub-
screens” from within a major heading. In this case,
simply pressing the appropriate POD key jumps to
the next screen: as shown on the “tag”:
TIP
As well as using the POD keys to switch between
tabbed pages, you can also make repeated presses of
the key that was used to bring up the screen (with the
ALT
indicator lit if necessary) to change between these
pages.
The POD keys may also be used to jump to another
screen with a different function.
TIP
The POD knobs change values fairly coarsely, but be
pressing and holding the
SHIFT
key (to the left of the
unit), the POD knobs can be used for fine adjustment.
This behavior can be changed (see “Encoder behavior
(fine and coarse)” on page 26 below).
