14.2.5 The Function button
A selection of buttons for controlling the Programmer, LED mimic modes and
other miscellaneous operations. Some buttons are not yet defined and these
will be used for future options.

These are for future enhancements.
14.3 Connecting up the Tablet
• Turn the desk off.
• Connect the Graphics Tablet with the cable provided to the serial port on
the desk and the back of the Tablet.
⇒ Only use the cable and Tablet supplied by Avolites in order to prevent
damage to either the Tablet or the desk. The Tablet is specially modified
to work with Avolites desks.
• Turn the Tablet on by pressing the blue button on the top left back edge
of it. The Tablet will not power up until the desk is turned on.
The blue button
should be in a depressed position
.
• Turn the desk on
. An LED on top left corner of the Tablet lights up when it is on.
It is best to leave the Tablet on when you turn off the desk so it will be correctly
configured when the desk is turned on next time.
The Tablet may work immediately. If not :
• Turn the key to Program and press Softbutton B [USER OPTIONS].
• Use the Down Cursor to reach option 10 and then the Right Cursor
button to select G-TABLET. If it is already selected, cycle round until it
comes back again.
• Press EXIT to leave the user options menu.
The Tablet is now ready to use.
If you have any Fixtures patched you can immediately select them by clicking the
stylus onto the appropriate Fixture select button. The Preset LED’s on the desk
should light up showing that they are selected.
If they don’t, click on the [FIXTURES or MIMIC] button (bottom right of Tablet). Now
the Preset LED’s light up to show which Fixtures you have selected, rather than
showing the Dimmer levels.
14.4 Using the Tablet
To click on a button on the Tablet, press on it with the Stylus. The button on
the side of the stylus doesn’t do anything.
For the most part, the Tablet simple provides an alternative way of
performing desk functions. Apart from the few features exclusive to the
Tablet, this section of the Manual will not explain what the functions do, only
how to access them.
You can use the index if necessary to remind yourself of any functions you
have forgotten.
