Faders of all console channels can be externally controlled. When using this
feature, the console operator determines the Fader Open/Close values, as well

is similar to the way time values are adjusted in the dynamic automation of
the Vista consoles.
Clicking on the Capture button will set the current fader value to be used when
the GPI is inactive, hence the value used when the fader is lowered/closed.
Alternatively the value may be modified as described above.
