Operation

This chapter explains the complete features and functions of your Force hardware.
Important:
When the left-most button at the bottom of the screen shows an upward arrow (), it means there are
additional buttons you can use when you press and hold Shift. Press and hold Shift to show the
secondary buttons, and any of them, if desired. Release Shift to return to the previous buttons.
Many modes shown on the screen have 1–6 buttons at the bottom. Each of these buttons select a
different tab in that mode or perform a specific function in that mode.
As an alternative to double-tapping an item on the screen to "enter" it, you can press the data dial.
When a parameter is highlighted and has a red outline, this means that it is selected. You can then
change it by turning the hardware's data dial or using the –/+ buttons. If the parameter is a number,
double-tap it to show a numeric keypad on the screen to enter a specific value.

General Features

Control Types

The Force touchscreen uses the following types of control elements:

Knobs

To set the value for a knob, do any of the following:
Tap and drag the knob up or down.
Tap the knob to select it, and then use the data dial or –/+ buttons to
adjust the value.
Double-tap the knob to show it in a larger screen. Alternatively, press
data dial when the knob is selected.
Tap and drag the larger version that appears, or use the data dial or
–/+ buttons to adjust the value.
If the knob is bipolar (has positive and negative values with the center
as the default position), double-tap the larger version to reset it to the
center/0 position.
Tap anywhere else to return to the previous screen.
Press and hold Shift while turning the data dial to adjust a value by
smaller increments.
