IMPORTANT!!! The Control Knobs may not appear to function properly at first.
This is because you must ÒcaptureÓ a ControlÕs setting before it will change.
When you turn a Control Knob, its current setting appears in the display.
However, this setting will not change until the Control Knob is turned to
match the stored setting. Once the ControlÕs setting is captured, the
Control Knob will work as you would expect to adjust the ControlÕs value.
