Press and hold the WINDOW switch and its LED lights up
and the LCD display shows the various window names,

Numeric Keypad Section
This mimics the keyboard number keypad and is used for
autolocator memory store and recall, data entry (such as
counter values) and for completing an edit operation
(using the ENTER switch). Pressing a number followed
by a period recalls a memory position.
Locations can be entered on the fly by pressing ENTER
(uses the next free location). Pressing ENTER followed
by a number will store at the chosen numeric location.
Additionally, the ENTER switch acts as an O.K. for modal
dialog boxes while ESC acts as a cancel.
You can set the pre or post roll by using the ALT switch
and the “pre” or “post” switches below the rotary pots and
using the keypad. If both the “pre” and “post” switches are
pressed together, the time entered will be used for both
pre and post roll times. The “pre” or “post” (or both) LED’s
will blink on and off indicating that pre/post entry mode is
active.
Enter the values on the numeric switches. This enters a
pre/post roll time according to the Grid/Time Display
value being used. Pressing the period switch cycles
through the numeric fields, and the CLR switch clears the
display. Press the ENTER switch to lock in the new time.
Entry can be aborted at any time by pressing the ESC
switch.
When editing pre or post roll from Dashboard will open
the transport window if it it not already open. The window
will then close after ENTER or ESC are pressed. For
counter value entry, pressing the “=” switch allows entry
into the counter. ESC cancels the numeric entry end exits
with no changes. The “/” switch acts as a “tab” between
fields for Start/End/Length in the edit window.
