Chapter 2: Basic Console Conventions

Software Version 3.05

The commands you enter into the console appear in the Command Line. The

Command Line is visible near the bottom of the monitor screen, just above the

soft keys. (See Figure 2.3.) A command is entered by pressing a sequence of

different soft keys and hard keys. Every keystroke you make appears on the

Command Line, creating a "sentence" that becomes a command for the console.

Your command is then completed by pressing the [ENTER] key, at which time

the console executes the command.

? EXAMPLE: A command to set channel 7 at a level of 75 percent

is:

[7] [@] [75] [ENTER] (Command Line History

shows "Channel 7 @ 75")

BASIC RULE: There is no channel key, therefore anytime a number

is entered at the beginning of the Command Line, "Channel" is automatically

entered onto the Command Line. Use the At [@] key to signify a channel level

or patching assignment. The [@] key can be roughly translated as "at the

level of" or "patched to".

BASIC RULE: Before you execute a command by pressing the

[ENTER] key, you can use the [CLEAR] key to erase keystrokes in the

Command Line. The keystroke immediately to the left of the cursor is erased

from the Command Line when the [CLEAR] key is pressed. You can also use

the Left and Right Arrow keys on the Position Keypad to move the cursor

around in the Command Line.

Command Line History

After pressing the [ENTER] key in the Example above, you will notice that

your command "sentence" moves up one line on the display, and appears in

gray text. The entered command is now in the position on the screen called the

Command Line History. The Command Line History provides you with a copy

of the last command that was entered. You cannot manipulate the information

in the Command Line History; it just shows what command you last entered.
