Calibrating a Scroller Using the Encoders

You can calibrate the center point of any frame in a scroller using the calibrate feature. Calibrating
a scroller is normally done from the live display. You can also calibrate using the ML display.

See

“Calibrating a Scroller Using the ML Display” on page 98.

To calibrate a scroller:

Step 1:

Select the channel of the scroller you wish to calibrate.

Step 2:

Press the [Color] encoder button. Multiple presses may be required before the
scroller encoder is visible in the encoder LCD.

Step 3:

Use the encoder to move all the way to the last frame of the scroller.

Step 4:

If you are in course mode, press the encoder to switch to “Fine” mode. The
{Calibrate}
touchbutton will appear as one of the scroller buttons in the LCD.

Step 5:

Continue adjusting the frame in fine mode until the frame is centered in the desired
position.

Step 6:

Press {Calibrate} in the encoder LCD. The new center position is now stored for the
selected channel.

Step 7:

Press {Last} in the encoder LCD to move to the center point of the previous frame.

Step 8:

Visually verify if the center point of the new frame is accurate. If it is, press {Last}
again to move to the previous frame in the scroll. If not, follow the calibration
procedure again.

Step 9:

Repeat steps 4-8 until you have calibrated all of the frames

N o t e :

It is recommended that you calibrate your scroller frames starting with the last

frame and working backward to the first frame. This will help ensure a complete

and accurate calibration.
Calibration may need to be performed when you initially patch a scroller and may

need to be adjusted through the course of operation as spring tension changes in

a color scroller.
