Background: Sets the background color of the Pot. The handle and border are not affected by the back-
ground color.
Text: Sets the foreground color of the Pot’s legend and inside lines. The legend is only visible if the Show Legend
attribute is turned on. However, the travel line along which the Pot’s control handle moves will be affected. The
handle and border are not affected by the text (foreground) color.
Show Legend: Causes the legend to be displayed. The Pot legend labels the scale of the Pot. See Figure
4.4 for some example of Pots with and without legends.
Horizontal: Causes the Pot to be use a horizontal orientation instead of its normal vertical orientation. See
Figure 4.4 for some samples of Pots with vertical and horizontal orientation.
Border: Causes the Pot to use a three-dimensional border that gives the Pot a raised appearance. This border
is not affected by the color attributes. It is often desirable to turn off the border when the Pot is placed inside a
container. This causes it to blend into the container. See Figure 4.4 for some samples of Pots with and without a
border.
Cursor to Handle: Causes the cursor to snap to the handle whenever the mouse is clicked over the Pot.
This can help the operator make smooth rather than abrupt adjustments.
Handle to Cursor: Causes the handle to snap to the cursor whenever A is pressed at the same time that
the mouse is clicked or dragged ( A +{) on the travel line of the Pot handle. This provides a way to change the
level in a single quick jump. Although this feature overrides the Cursor to Handle feature, it doesn’t cause a conflict
because the Handle to Cursor feature requires the
A key.
Refresh: This attribute only affects Pots that are linked to IQ2 components. If Refresh is turned on and the Pot
has been placed inside a container object, every time the state of the Pot changes, all objects in the parent
container will retrieve their state from their respective IQ components and redisplay themselves if necessary.
Poll: This attribute only affects Pots that are linked to IQ2 components. When this attribute is turned on, the IQ2
component will be polled continually for the current level and the Pot will be updated immediately upon any
changes. When the Poll attribute is turned off (the default), the Pot is only updated when it is redrawn. This feature
is very useful when one of the compressor features of an IQ2 P.I.P. (such as an IQ–P.I.P.–SMT, IQ–P.I.P.–DP, IQ–
P.I.P.–DSP) is used. By polling the IQ2 component, those changes can be immediately recognized by Turbo and
the Pot object updated accordingly.
Four Pots are shown in Figure 4.4. Two of the Pots are vertical and two are horizontal. Each set is shown with and
without a legend. The two vertical Pots have a border and the two horizontal Pots do not.
