3.3.4 Text
Entry
Text is used to name Projects (Title and File Name), Mixes, Groups, and Snapshots.
Accordingly, text can only be entered in the text-entry fields in dialog boxes.
Since the Automation Controller does not have a keyboard, text is entered using the Jog-
Wheel and navigation buttons.
The following steps will outline the procedures needed to enter a name or label in a text-
entry field:
1. Navigate to the page, menu and dialog box with an operation that contains text-
entry fields. Entering a Title in the “New Project” dialog box will be used for this
example.
2. Use the Jog-Wheel to highlight the desired text-entry field and press the SEL
(Select) button. A flashing cursor will appear at the beginning of the text-entry field.
Text can be entered at this point, but it might be desirable to start with a blank
text-entry field.
3. Rotate the Jog-Wheel clockwise to move the cursor to the end of the existing text.
The New Project dialog box to
the left was opened by selecting
“New Project” from the Main
Menu from the Status Page.
The New Project default text is
shown in the “Title” and
“Filename” text-entry fields.
