A Few Fundamental Concepts
Selection
Before you can change something in the VS-2480, 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-2480’s display. When you
select something on the display, you’re telling the VS-2480 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-2480 shows you what’s currently selected. Often, the
selected item becomes “highlighted” —its colors are inverted. Text,
for example, becomes white with a black 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-2480 uses 24-hour time: Midnight is Hour 00, 1 am is 01, and 1 pm is Hour 13.
