LEDs within the DECK 3 button, DECK 4 button, and left FX 1-1 ON button should be light on and other LEDs should be
light off after the controller launches in Measurement mode.
Note:
Even if the controller connects with a PC/Mac via USB cable, it does not communicate with the computer during
Measurement mode.
Unused LEDs should be light off during Measurement mode. B

A 1. Measurement of Jog dial rotation time

This controller should measure the rotation time by rotating Jog dial during Measurement mode.
In particular, when Jog dial is turned with 233.1 rpm (33.3 X 7) or more during Measurement mode, the controller should
measure difference between time of when the rotation speed slows down to 99.9 rpm (33.3 X 3) and time of when it slows
down to 49.95 rpm (33.3 X 1.5).
(The controller should measure "T1" shown in Figure-8.)
But, when the rotation speed is less than 233.1 rpm, the controller does not measure.

[Trigger of which measure Jog dial rotation time]

1) In order to measure the rotation time for left-side Jog dial, turn left-side Jog dial clockwise or counterclockwise during
Measurement mode.
2) In order to measure the rotation time for right-side Jog dial, turn right-side Jog dial clockwise or counterclockwise during
Measurement mode.
When the rotation speed is more than 233.1 rpm, measurement value ("T1" shown in Figure-8) is indicated using Channel
Level Indicator and LEDs within left side SLIP buttons are light off (*1). Indication method by Channel Level Indicator is
D common to both side.
The measurement unit is "milli second".
When the rotation speed is less than 233.1 rpm, all Channel Level Indicators are light off and LED within SLIP button of the
left side is light on.

2. Check of drift of knobs and faders A
Drift of all knobs and faders can be checked using Master level indicator during Measurement mode.
In order to select test subject, turn the Rotary selector clockwise or counterclockwise.
Then, lighting LED is moved whenever the Rotary selector is turned.
In order to start or reset observation of drift, press the Rotary selector.
[Use of this mode during repair]

" For failure judgment of the rotary VRs
As a guide, amplitude values higher than +4 or lower than -4 may be judged as failure.
The VRs can be set to any position during measurement. Possible symptoms are shown below.
" The volume changes arbitrarily.
" Interrupted sound leakage occurs even if the volume is decreased to the minimum at the Master or Booth Monitor. B
" The MIDI signal is output even if the corresponding VR is not operated.

A [Preparation of when check drift]

Firstly, Select knob or fader of which check drift.
In order to select it, turn the Rotary selector clockwise or counterclockwise.
Whenever the Rotary selector is turned, lighting LED is moved according to the order shown in Figure-9.
Knob or fader of which check drift can be identified by lighting LED.
[Trigger of which observe drift]

In order to start observation of drift, press the Rotary selector.
In order to clear measured result of drift and start new observation of drift, press the Rotary selector again.
The controller should store A/D converted value for knob/fader as "reference value" after the Rotary selector is pressed.
B
The controller should always calculate difference between the "reference value" and latest value during observation.
The controller should indicate maximum difference value until now as drift.
If latest difference value is more than past maximum difference value, the drift value should be used the latest difference value.
If not, the drift value should be used not the latest difference value but past maximum difference value.
Segments of Master level indicator are light on depending on amount of the drift.
The controller should always indicate both negative and positive maximum drift value at the same time until the Rotary
selector is pressed next.
