Dual Encoders

You're viewing grandMA3 2.3 docs. Switch to the latest (2.4).

The five dual encoders are used to adjust the different attributes of the fixtures. There are four different actions on the encoders:

  • Turn the inner ring to adjust the attribute “Coarse”.
  • Turn the outer ring to adjust the attribute “Fine”.
  • Press the inner ring to open a calculator to type in the value.
  • Press and turn the inner ring to adjust the attribute “Coarse” with a higher speed.
  • Press the dual encoder key to open a calculator to type in the value. The dual encoder key replaces the press function of the outer ring.
Hint:
For more information on the Readout and Resolution of the encoders, see Readout Keyword and Encoder Resolution topics.

These encoders are placed above the command section.

You can define a customized encoder bar in the grandMA3 software. For more information, see Encoder Bar Pool.
