Help Tags Preferences
For control surfaces that feature freely programmable displays with more than six
characters per line (or segment) of the display, you can change the way help tags are
shown. Control surface help tags are similar to Logic Express help tags, showing additional
information during use.
• “While editing show long names for” checkboxes: The two checkboxes in this section
allow you to set how the names and values of parameters are displayed on the LCD of
the control surface.
• “Parameter name” checkbox: When selected, the upper LCD line displays the full
parameter name, rather than an abbreviated form of it, when you edit a parameter.
• “Parameter value” checkbox: When selected, the lower LCD line displays the full
parameter value when you edit a parameter. If the “Show value units for parameter”
checkboxes (see below) are selected, it will be appended by the measurement unit,
where applicable (for example, “dB,” “Hz,” or “%”).
Note: The following options only have an effect if at least one of the two parameters
described above is active.
• Display Duration slider: Drag to adjust the time that parameter names and values remain
on the LCD display, following selection and adjustments.
