The console assumes default values for upfade and downfade times, but
you can change them. Change all fade times at once by changing the
default values, as explained below. You can also change fade times
individually as explained under
page 85, and also under
Fade times may be programmed from 0.1 seconds to 99:59 minutes. The
number may be entered in normal time format or in decimal format. When
entered with a decimal point, the number must be less than one minute
(0.1 to 59.9 seconds) to be accepted. When entered without a decimal
point, a 2-digit number will be treated as seconds if less than 60 and as a
calculated value of minutes and seconds if between 60 and 99. For
example, if you enter 70, the time will display as 1:10. If you enter either
a 3-digit or a 4-digit number, the last two digits, up to 59, are interpreted
as seconds. For example, if you enter 9930, the time will display as 99:30.
Follow these steps to assign new default fade times.
