Dual Encoders
The five dual encoders are used to adjust the different attributes of the fixtures. There are four different actions on the encoders:
- Turn the inner ring to adjust the attribute “Coarse”.
- Turn the outer ring to adjust the attribute “Fine”.
- Press the inner ring to open a calculator to type in the value.
- Press and turn the inner ring to adjust the attribute “Coarse” with a higher speed.
- Press the dual encoder key to open a calculator to type in the value. The dual encoder key replaces the press function of the outer ring.
