2.5 Using Control Blocks

Most IQ components have a control block. As its name suggests, a control block serves as a ready-made place

to control an IQ component. All control blocks can be accessed from a Control Block screen. This is one of the types

of text screens we referred to earlier in Section 2.1.1. Specific Control Block screens are selected with the

Device menu. (Device is synonymous with IQ component.) To use the Device menu, press

! from any

Control Block screen. Figure 2.14 shows a typical Device menu.

The Device menu is quite flexible and offers several methods for making a selection:

1 Keyboard: Use the

Z Y keys to highlight the desired device and press E.

2 Keyboard: Press the highlighted character. Example, press

s for the SMX-6 mixer.

3 Mouse: Click ({) on the desired device.

A sample SMX Control Block screen is shown below in Figure 2.15. Notice that four individual SMX-6 control

blocks are visible on the SMX Control Block screen.
