Gain Level Fader and Field Mic Preamp gain can
be changed by clicking on the fader and moving
the mouse, or by typing a valid gain value in the
field and clicking Enter.
You can enter values that correspond to the gain
values in Table 2 on page 38. Other values will
snap to the closest permitted value (for example,
entering 10 will snap to +9 dB).
Target When the Target icon is red, the next
window opened of the same type replaces the
current display. When unlit, the current win-
dow anchors to its current contents and loca-
tion on-screen. Opening additional windows
does not affect anchored windows.
To set an open Mic Preamp window as the Target
window:
 Click to enable the Target (it is red when en-
abled, gray when disabled).
