TheControllerAssignmentsEditor
TheControllerAssignmentsEditorisopenedviatheLogic>Preferences>Control

TheControllerAssignmentsEditorofferstwoviewmodes:EasyandExpert.Theview
modescanbeswitchedviatheExpertViewoptionatthetopofthewindow.
EasymodeisdesignedtomakelearningTrackparameterassignmentsasfastand
efficientaspossible.Therefore,thiswindowonlyshowsTrackparameters—whenfirst
opened.AfterswitchingtoExpertviewandmanuallychoosinganotherparameter
class,thecorrespondingparametersarealsoshowninEasyview.Itisgenerally
recommendedthatEasyviewisonlyusedforTrackparameterassignments.
Easymodeoffersanoverviewofthefollowingparameters:
