12.1.2 Setting the Wheel acceleration
The control wheels allow you to set 16-bit control values to the fixtures,

for hours if you need to make large changes to the fixtures.
Hold down the AVO button and press the 2 button to set the different
wheel acceleration curves. The current curve is shown on the main part
of the screen. “Linear Fast” has the fastest response and “Linear Slow”
the slowest and most accurate.
