In spreadsheet style Windows (e.g. Patch) pressing the touch screen or left clicking on the item with the mouse moves the cursor
to the item. You can highlight multiple Window items by pressing the touch screen and moving the touch across multiple items.

In boxes style Windows (e.g. Group), pressing the touch screen or left clicking performs the function associated with the item
(e.g. recalls that Group). In these Windows use SHIFT or CTRL and the cursor keys to highlight multiple boxes.

Setting the value of items

To set the value of one or more items in a spreadsheet style window:

• Move the cursor over the item (s)

• Enter a value on the keypad and press ENTER.

OR

• Type in the value on the keypad

• Press the touch screen / click / ENTER over the item.

For items that have a simple value of yes or no if you do not enter a value on the keypad then the value will toggle. For items that
have multiple values double click on the field for a list of values. On the touch screen select the field and then press anywhere in
the Input Display (right side area underneath the main window) to bring up the list of values.

Items that are coloured darker are read only and therefore cannot be set.

Naming items

• Press the SET button

• Press the touch screen / click / ENTER over the item to name.

• Enter the name on the external or on screen keyboards

When working in spreadsheets style windows with an external keyboard it is not necessary to press the SET button in the above
sequence - you can edit the spreadsheet like any other, just by moving to the appropriate box and entering text on the keyboard.

To name multiple items highlight it is often easier to highlight the items before pressing SET. If you press SET immediately after
highlighting multiple items then the console will assume that these are the items you wish to set.

You can also press SET instead of pressing ENTER in the above sequences.

To move multiple items it is often easier to highlight the items before pressing MOVE. If you press MOVE immediately after
highlighting multiple items then the console will assume that these are the source items and will only prompt for the destination.
