System Basics 25
From the {Clear Targets} screen you can select which record targets you wish to clear. The
buttons at the center of the CIA represent all of the record targets that you can choose to clear.
By default all components are selected (gray) and will be cleared. To withhold any targets from
being cleared, simply deselect them in the CIA by clicking the respective button. To deselect all
of the targets, click the {Deselect All} button.
To reselect all targets, click the {Select All} button and all buttons will return to gray (selected).
To stop the process, click the {Cancel} button.
When you have selected or deselected all of the record targets you require, click {OK}.
After clearing, the CIA will return to the browser. If you want to perform additional clear
functions, you must select {Clear} from the browser again.
To exit the clear functions screen without clearing, press the [Displays] key at any time or select
a clear button and then select {Cancel} from the confirmation screen.
Reset System vs Clear Show
Using {Reset System} will open a new show file and reset the Setup options to their defaults.
Using {Clear Show} will only open a new show file.
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 Facepanel
It is possible to lock out the facepanel, which prevents any actions from the command line or
CIA. To lock out the facepanel, press [Shift] & [Escape]. To unlock the facepanel, press [Shift] &
[Escape] again.
Softkeys
Some of the features and displays in Element 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.
Those softkeys correspond to buttons [S1] - [S6] and [More SK] on the facepanel.
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 the [More SK] button. 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:
Monitors - refers to any physical monitor or touchscreen device connected to your console.
The monitor number will display in the upper left corner of the screen.
Workspaces - offers independent display control on all of your connected monitors. Every
monitor can have up to three workspaces.
