Note: There are restrictions as to which encoding types may be used in combination
with the number of presets that you specify. Refer to the Preset Encoding Types
section on page 81 for more information.
# Presets
Specify here the number of presets in the device that will be addressed by external
hardware in the given configuration view. The range of values is from 0 to 128, with a
default value of zero.
Encoding Type
Specify here the type of encoding you will be using for preset control. The
available values vary depending on the number you have specified in the
[# Presets] value box, as explained further in the Encoding Types section
below. The default value is "None."

Pin Configuration Section
Use this section of the window to configure the System Processor to properly recognize any control pin
connections that are wired to external hardware. When you first open the window, all the connections
are disabled and there is no differentiation between the function of the pins. Once you define how
many pins will be used for preset control, if any, the display distributes those connections to a preset
control block and any remaining pins can be allocated for processor control.
Note: You must be in Design Mode to create or change the pin configuration. You can only
disable or enable pin connections in the Live Mode.
These settings are stored at the device level. They are not stored with presets or scene files, and do not
change when you switch to between presets on the device. You can store this configuration as a computer
file if you are working offline from the System Processor, or as a backup for archival purposes.
Preset Control Block
Initially there is no preset control block displayed in the window. Once you establish settings in the [#
Presets] and [Encoding Type] parameter boxes, a preset control block will appear on the left side of
the control pins section. The pin connection(s) can be alternately enabled and disabled by clicking on
the block with the left mouse button, or selecting [Disable] from the pull-down menu on the right side of
the block. For more information on preset encoding, refer to the Preset Encoding Types section.
Note: After you have configured the device for external preset control, you cannot
change presets with the computer until you first disable the preset control
connection in the Control Pins window.
