Timers
Select the Timers
tab to set the options for the available timers in the system.
You can use timers to show or set periods of times in which faders are open, to control other functions.
In the Timers
area, all available timers are listed. You can neither add nor remove existing timers. Also, you can not change the sequence of the timers in the list. You can use a maximum of six timers per mixer.
The timers in the list have a fixed serial number Nr
and a Label
. You can not change the numbers. Select a timer from the Timers
list. In the Edit Timer
area, enter a name for this timer in the Label
box. This name may be up to 16 digits long.
For each timer, you can select a logic source for Start, Stop and Reset. For this, you can use any logic source, for example, the keys of a control module.
Also, you can control and display a timer via TFT Buttons and Labels. See View Elements & Configuration for more information
Select a timer from the Timers
list. In the Edit Timer
area, select a logic from the list. Click Select
next to the Source
box. The Logic Sources
window opens. Select a logic source and click Assign
. Alternatively, you can also double-click on the Logic source or use drag & drop.
