Timer Section
The control surface timer is provided with an AUTO-
RESTART function so programmed (via GUI) input
modules can automatically reset the timer display (lo-
cated on the button of the MASTERS LCD screen) to
zero and start a new count (if the timer is currently
running), allowing the announcer to easily track his own
pace.
The S/S (start/stop) button halts the timer, holds the last count, and
then restarts and accumulates the count when depressed again
—
perfect
for compiling tapes of desired duration.
RESET has a dual-mode capability:
- if you depress it while the timer is counting, the display will
instantly reset to zero and start a fresh count;
- if the timer is already stopped, depressing this button will reset the
timer to zero, where it will hold until start is pressed.
The HOLD button allows you to hold the display for a longer
viewing duration, while still allowing the counter to continue in the
background. Releasing the button will then display the current count.
Time of Day Clock
The MASTER LCD screen includes the display of a time of day
clock. To set the time on this clock you run a Wheatstone utility
program, WSTimeSet.exe, on a network computer. The program
allows you to set the clocks on multiple control surfaces by specifying
the IP addresses of the control surfaces in a list. A single command then
updates all specified clocks. Program options allow auto updating at
midnight or at the top of the hour. See Appendix 1 for details.
Preset Events Section
This section provides a means for storage and
retrieval of control surface settings, and naming
those settings as “events”. In this manner complete
configuration and setting information that is used
repeatedly (for example, morning show) can be
saved and recalled. Event names may be re-titled
by the user. Up to 99 different events can be stored.
A special DEFAULT event stores a user defined
setup. Events may be triggered by the PROGRAM-
MABLE buttons on the IS-D12 panel.
Storing an Event
When an event is stored, all of the control surface’s current settings
are saved and will be recalled when that event is executed through the
TAKE command. To create a new event from current control surface
