The Centre Stop Mode is a setting that allows you to control the direction and speed of the scrolling text

using the knurled wheel. As the wheel passes the designated stop point, the movement of the text will slow

down and then change direction.



To enable this feature, select the Centre Stop Mode box.

Stop Point

To select a Stop Point, enter a value in the Stop Point field. This is a point during the turn of the scroll wheel

where scrolling stops. Values range from 0 to 63. By default, the value is 63, which corresponds to a position

approximately half way around the movement of the scroll wheel.
The value you select depends upon your needs as an operator. If you are an operator who is likely to be

moving backwards and forwards in the same script such as during a rehearsal, or is making last-minute

changes, you might want to set a lower Stop Point value. On the other hand, if you are an operator that is

likely to be scrolling continuously, and is less likely to be moving backwards and forwards in a script, you

may consider setting a higher Stop Point value.
