• Adding a New Control Block
Keyboard: Control blocks are automatically created for all on line IQ components during a roll call. In addition, new
control blocks can be manually added for off line IQ components. This is easy to do if an empty control block is
visible in the Control Block screen. Use
O or N to select it and then enter the IQ address and Crown Bus loop
number of the off line IQ component. How do you manually add a control block if no empty ones are visible in the
Control Block screen? First, press
N until you reach the last control block. Then press N one more time to
create one new control block. You can also press
S+N to force Turbo to add more than one new control
block.
• Selecting a Control or Text Line
Keyboard: Use
Z Y Q R to position the cursor on the desired control or text line. When the line is highlighted,
it is selected and ready for input.
Mouse: Move the mouse ({) without clicking or dragging until the cursor is on top of the desired control or text line.
When the control or text line is highlighted, it is selected and ready for input.
• Setting an On/Off Control
Keyboard: Select the desired on/off control and press the “Space Bar”.
Mouse: First select the desired on/off control. Then click the left mouse button ({).
• Setting a Level Control
Keyboard: There are two ways to set a level control. You can enter the value directly or you can increment/
decrement the value in steps (usually ½ dB steps). Begin by selecting the desired level control. Then you can
enter the value directly by typing the number you want and pressing
E to engage the new level. (Precede
negative numbers with the negative key.) Or you can press
S+Z to increment or S+Y to decrement the
level. Note: Fractions cannot be entered directly. Use the increment/decrement method for fractions.
Mouse: First select the desired level control. Then, press and hold
S while moving the mouse ({) upward to
increment and downward to decrement. Do not click or drag while moving the mouse.
• Setting a Range Control
Keyboard: A “range” control let’s you select from a list of preset choices. For example, the dual/mono control in an
amplifier control block allows the following settings to be selected: DUAL, BRID and PARA. These controls function
very similarly to an on/off control. To set them, first select the control then press the “Space Bar” to advance the
selection from one value to the next. The selection will advance to the first choice after passing the last one.
• Moving from a Control Block to a Sub-block
Keyboard: Select the ASA control and press
Y or E.
Mouse: With the ASA control selected, move the mouse ({) in a downward direction without clicking or dragging.
