The Feature Reference Manual 

(this manual)

The Feature Reference manual is the “nuts and bolts” reference for

the VL1, individually describing its many functions in detail. The Feature

Reference manual is divided into five main sections, each describing the

various functions within a particular VL1 edit or utility mode.

1. General Operation [

Once you have become familiar with the way the VL1 works by

going through the Getting Started manual, you should only need to refer

to the Feature Reference manual from time to time to get details on func-

tions you’ve never used before, or refresh your memory about functions

that you don’t use very often.

Each section of the Feature Reference manual has its own table of

contents, so you should be able to locate any particular function quickly

and easily. Functions and references can also be located by referring to the

index at the back of the manual.

Conventions

The following conventions are used through the VL1 manuals to

avoid confusion and make the text easier to read.

Buttons & Controls

Button and control names used on the VL1 panel appear in the text

in capital letters within a border: “the 

[

 button”, for example.

Parameter Names

Parameter names and other labels which appear on the VL1 display

are printed in the 

courier

 typeface for easier identification: for

example, “adjust the “

Balance

” parameter as required”.

Parameter Ranges

An ellipsis is used to indicate a range of parameter values: e.g. “0

… 127”. This minimizes the confusion sometimes caused by the use

of a hyphen or dash for this purpose.
