4.10.5 Encoder Wheel Button Options
You can adjust the action that occurs when pressing the grey encoder wheel button (located
to bottom left of each encoder wheel) in the Programming pane of the User Preferences
window:
Setting Function
Fine Mode
(default)
makes encoder wheel adjustments more refined (same as holding pig key)
when encoder wheel button is held down
Cycle
Feature
Mode
changes the feature mode of the function assigned to the encoder wheel when
the encoder wheel button is pressed
Set
opens a direct entry dialogue box for the encoder wheel when button is pressed
(similar to holding set and turning encoder wheel)
Max/Min
sets wheel to max value when button is pressed first time; sets wheel to
minimum value when pressed second time
Neg/Pos
sets wheel to negative value when button is pressed first time; sets wheel
back to positive value when pressed second time
Adjust by

wheel value by one when holding pig and pressing button)
4.10.6 Keys and Button Preferences
You can adjust various key timings in the Key Timings pane of the User Preferences window:
Setting Function
Key repeat delay When you hold down a key, this is the delay before it starts to repeat.
Key repeat period When you hold down a key, this is the time between repeats.
Key double press
time
When you press a key twice within this time, the console interprets this
as a double-press.
Note: these timings only apply to the physical keys on the console's front panel, and not to
the on-screen buttons.
Tip: Double-pressing a key is often a shortcut way of opening the window associated with
the key; for example, double pressing the Beam key will open the Bean directory window.
If you prefer not to use the double-press shortcuts, then assign the double-press time to
zero to disable it.
