A Few Fundamental Concepts
Selection
Before you can change something in the VS-2400CD, you must first select it. In the case
of physical controls, it’s obvious: before you can move a fader, you’ve got to grab it with
your fingers. This rule also applies to items shown on the VS-2400CD’s display. When
you select something on the display, you’re telling the VS-2400CD you want to do
something to the thing you’ve selected. The two most common ways to make a selection
are to use the cursor buttons or to click the desired item with your mouse. Once you’ve
made a selection, you can make the desired change using the appropriate tool.
When you select one displayed item and then another, you’re
moving the “selection cursor.”
The VS-2400CD shows you what’s currently selected. Often, the
selected item becomes “highlighted” —its colors are inverted. Text,
for example, becomes white with a dark background.
When you select a box in which you can enter data or choose a
different value, the box’s outline becomes darkened.
This value: Displays dates as:
mm/dd/yyyy 07/12/2001
dd/mm/yyyy 12/07/2001
yyyy/mm/dd 2001/07/12
MMM.dd ‘YY Jul. 12, ‘01
dd MMM ‘YY 12 Jul ‘01
The VS-2400CD uses 24-hour time: Midnight is Hour 00, 1 am is 01, and 1 pm is
Hour 13.
