6.5 The 4-Directional Push Encoder
The 4-Directional Push Encoder (referred to as the 4-D encoder) combines the functionalities
of a conventional joystick, of a button, and of a continuous encoder. These aspects make it a
multi-functional control element that can be used for navigation, for adjusting values of param-
eters, and for controlling Instruments. Hence, it can be moved to the four directions: up, down,
left, and right, as well as being pushed and rotated.
The 4D Encoder situated below the Mode buttons.
Depending on the menu or context, the available actions differ:
▪ The displays are navigated by pushing the 4-D encoder in a direction indicated by the four
LEDs.
▪ Entries in a list are browsed by turning the 4-D encoder.
▪ The value of a highlighted parameter is adjusted by turning the 4-D encoder.
▪ A selection is confirmed by pushing the 4-D encoder.
