Increment/Decrement Simulator
The Increment/Decrement Simulator provides a control for increment and decrement, with the 
ability to set increment and decrement values. The control is temporary, since the value is not 
remembered in the device. 
To use the Increment/Decrement Simulator:
1.  Select Tools > Increment/Decrement Simulator.
2.  Select the group to be controlled from the Select Group drop-down list. The following 
dialog box opens:
Figure 55. Increment/Decrement Simulator Dialog Box
NOTE: The Number of Group Members: readout indicates the number of 
controls affected.
3.  Enter an increment value and a decrement value. The default value is 1. 
NOTE:  The size of the increment can be changed by typing a value in the 
Increment Value or Decrement Value field. Values can be as large as 
the maximum range of the control or as fine as 0.1dB. For groups controlling 
mute, 1 is the only valid value.
4.  Click Increment and Decrement as needed. The group master control increases or 
decreases by the set value to the top or bottom of its soft limit range.
NOTE:  When set, soft limits cannot be exceeded.
