The Trackball Controls, found on the right side of the console, are used for moving the cursor
between the touch screens and external monitors and manipulating the menus on those screens.
It can also be used to control the pan/tilt attributes of selected fixtures. There are five hard keys
associated with the trackball; four across the top and one on the left. The mode of the Trackball
Controls determines the function of the keys and the trackball.
By pressing and holding the "P/T" key and any other trackball key you will toggle the functionality
of the trackball controls between:

Note that by default in all modes, the "Highlight" button, when engaged, will cause any selected
fixtures to go to full intensity, force their shutter/strobe and gobo to "open", open the iris, change
the focus of the fixtures to their default value and change their color to "Open White" or "No

button can be changed to suit your needs. To do so, simply record a preset with the desired
attribute settings and label it "HighLightPreset" (all one word with capitalization as shown). For
information on recording presets, please see "Recording Presets" on page 66.
