Patch 1 to 1 vs Clear Patch
Using {Patch 1 to 1} will clear your patch and set it to a 1-to-1 patch. Using {Clear Patch} will
only clear out the patch.
Locking the Face Panel
It is possible to lock out the face panel, which prevents any actions from the command line or
CIA. To lock out the face panel, press [Shift] & [Escape]. To unlock the face panel, press [Shift]
& [Escape] again.
Note:
This will also lock any wings or USB connected peripherals.
Softkeys
Some of the features and displays of your Eos family console are accessible from the softkeys,
which are located under the Browser. Softkeys are indicated in documentation with bold
{braces}.
The softkeys are context sensitive, therefore they repaint to display softkeys relevant to the
display or command you are working with. The white labels on the bottom row indicate the
active softkeys. The gray labels in the top row indicate the second page of available softkeys,
available by pressing the [More SK] button.
On Element 2, those softkeys correspond to buttons [S1] - [S6] and [More SK] on the face
panel.
Example:
With a channel on the command line, pressing [More SK] & [Intensity] will
post Make Manual on the command line.
Changing Softkey Pages
When there are more relative softkeys than the six available buttons, both gray and white
softkey labels will be visible. The white labels on the bottom row of the label window indicate
the active softkeys. The gray labels in the top row indicate the second page of softkeys.
To access the second page of softkeys, press [More SK]. To access the previous softkeys, press
[More SK] again.
Displays
There are several terms that are useful to know when discussing the displays on your console:
Monitor - any physical display or touchscreen device connected to your console. The
monitor number will display in the upper left corner of the screen.
Workspace - offers independent display control on all of your connected monitors. Every
monitor can have up to three workspaces.
Frame - a subdivision of a workspace
Tab - offers the ability to view multiple displays in one frame.
Displays - are the individual views or tools available for use in programming your
console. They are viewed in tabs.
Eos has the ability to have one of three different workspaces active on individual monitors, as
well as to have up to four frames in use in any workspace. Each frame can hold multiple tabs.
Each tab contains one display.
