5-120 Operation
The upper one of the two stopwatches on the main screen is called the global
fader stopwatch. In dual-desk systems, the primary and the secondary desk
may have individual global fader stopwatches.
The global fader stopwatch is controlled by the channel fader(s) for which
the Timer Start option has been enabled in the configuration tool (refer to
chapter 6.5.1).
It always restarts at 00:00:00 (hh:mm:ss) when any of the enabled channels
is switched on while its fader is opened, or vice versa. It stops when the fader
is closed or when the channel is switched off.
The label of the logical input that has started the stopwatch is indicated next
to the stopwatch on the main screen (such as CD 1, as illustrated at the left)
as well as on an extended monitoring module, if installed.
With SW V2.1 and above, individual input fader stopwatches have been intro-
duced. If the Timer Start option is enabled for a channel by configuration,
as mentioned above, the lower line of the label field on the channel screen
indicates the input fader stopwatch as soon as the channel is on (i.e. fader
open and channel switched ON).
There are two different operating modes for the input fader stopwatches:
• Cumulative time measurement; a running stopwatch is stopped by switch-
ing the channel OFF; it is reset only when the fader is closed.
• Absolute time measurement; the timer is always reset before starting.
These modes are selected in the configuration tool, under Config – Settings
– Reset Timer On Fader Close – on/off (see
As long as an input is selected with the SEL key, its input fader stopwatch is
also displayed on the main screen instead of the global fader stopwatch, and,
if installed, on an extended monitoring module, together with this logical
input's label.
Both the global and the fader stopwatches can display a time range of up to
23:59:59. Should this value be exceeded, any of the stopwatches restarts at
00:00:00.
The user stopwatch is located just below the fader stopwatch. It is controlled
by two keys (START and STOP) below the main screen, next to the digits of
the user stopwatch display, as illustrated below.
START always (re-) starts the user stopwatch from zero. While it is running,
the display background turns black. STOP stops the user stopwatch. Pressing
STOP a second time resets it to zero.
