2.6 Using Sub-blocks
Some, but not all, IQ components have one or more sub-blocks. As their name suggests, sub-blocks are
organized “under” control blocks. They allow the user to delve deeper into the controls of a IQ component. Sub-
blocks contain the controls that configure the automation features of the more advanced IQ components. A single
sub-block contains the controls for one function. Some Sub-block screens contain more than one sub-block. All
Sub-block screens are accessed from a parent control block with the ASA (Auto System Activate) control.
The ASA control serves a dual purpose. First, by turning it on and off, you enable or disable all functions in the sub-
blocks. Second, it is used to gain access to the Sub-block screen(s). This is accomplished by pressing
E or
Y when the ASA control is selected. Mouse users can simply move the mouse down ({) from the ASA control
without clicking.
The next two illustrations show some typical Sub-block screens.
Notice in both Figure 2.18 and 2.19 that the status of the ASA control is indicated at the top of the screen (top left on
the amplifier Sub-block screen and top right on the mixer Sub-block screen). Although the actual ASA control is
