The facilities in the module frame windows are the same as those in the fader frame
windows, although the functions provided are usually significantly different. As far as
data is concerned, they are essentially on/off switches or rotary encoders.
You can open the Module Frame views by clicking the Module Frame icon in the Con-
sole view, which is accessible via the toolbar (see
fig 7-1 ).
If a potentiometer is programmable, then clicking and holding the mouse button will
open a “tool-tip” showing the value for the potentiometer. Dragging the mouse will
vary the value - up or to the left will increase, and down or to the right will decrease
the value. Moreover, if the potentiometer is of dual-gang type, then the left mouse
button varies the “upper gang”, while the right mouse button varies the “lower gang”.
The tool-tip can be locked to the potentiometers position or, alternatively, move with
the mouse. You can set this option in User Properties -> Edit Options.
Real-time updating may optionally function across all controls for all modules. If a
value is changed in the Current Cue, then it will automatically be sent to the console
as an update. If a control is dragged, then the transmission rate for messages can be
set according to the computers processing power. This option can be found in User
Properties -> Edit options.

Tool Tips
When you move the pointer around
in the frame windows and let it
hover over a certain area for a sec-
ond or two, a small box called a
ToolTip, pops up. The ToolTip may
indicate module number, title
strings etc.
In the module detail window, Tool-
Tips are used to show the level set-
ting recorded for potentiometers
with nulling facilities. In some
cases, you can double-click on the
potentiometer to open a dialog box,
into which you can enter a new
value for the selected potentiome-
ter.
