Element software contains a hidden routine that al-

Upon entering the lamp diagnostic mode, the VGA
monitor connected to Element will display an initial
screen with a list of all installed modules (as shown in
Figure C-14). You’ll see a description of the type of each
module; preceding the description are a set of numbers
in brackets.
To begin fader diagnostics, use the Arrow keys to
highlight the fader you wish to test and press the Enter
key. You will see, onscreen, a graphical representation of
the selected module’s controls, including faders, lighted
selection keys and on/off switches.

are lit and you are instructed to turn each one off. This
serves as a combination lamp and switch test.
When the lamp/switch test is complete, you’ll be
prompted to perform a fader operation test. As you move
the faders on the module being tested, you will see their
onscreen images move as well, and the alpha displays on
Element itself will display changing encoder values as
the faders are moved.
