Count-Down Timer Operation
In this mode, the timer will count-down from a starting value (called the
Preset
time), and turn red once a mid-
point (the
Alarm
time) is reached:
Count-Down (before Alarm)
Count-Down (Alarm active)

.
To set the
Preset
and
Alarm
time values, select the current count-down time - the Timer properties
window opens:
The
Preset
value defines the starting time. When you reset the timer, it will return to this setting - in our example,
to 50 seconds.
The
Alarm
value is used for the signalisation. When the count-down reaches this time, it turns red - for example,
at 25 seconds.
In both cases, use the minute and second fields to type in a value, or select the
+
and
-
buttons to increase and
decrease the current values. Then select
OK
to confirm.

.
For our example, open one of the MIC source faders to start the count-down from the
Preset
time.
When the count-down reaches the
Alarm
time, the numbers turn red to warn you that you are almost out of time.
If the count-down reaches 00:00, then the timer starts to count back up. This shows you by how much you are
overunning! In this instance, the Alarm status remains active until the timer is reset.

For our example, the timer stops once all MIC source faders are closed.
Note that the current time remains on-screen until the timer is reset.
