Control Bar functions

The Control Bar positioned at the lower screen edge is permanently visible while in menu mode. The left section (upper section in vertical screen mode) contains individual keys depending on the menu page shown. The right section of the Control Bar (lower section in vertical screen mode) shows the following global menu functions common to nearly all menu pages:

• Save
This key is displayed after the currently loaded preset was edited. Touching this key will save those edits to the current preset and return the TouchMonitor to normal display mode. This means that the old version of the loaded preset will be overwritten with the updated version. If you prefer to keep the old version and to save the edits to a new preset name, you should use the "Duplicate Preset" function in the "Preset Management" menu before editing.

• Back
The "Back" key works similar to the "Backwards" arrow of a web browser. Touching "Back" will return you to the previous screen. Any parameter edits on the current page will be kept. Touching "Back" repeatedly will display all menu pages displayed before. Touching "Back" in the Main Menu will return the unit to normal display mode.

• Cancel
This key discards any edits made and returns the unit directly to normal display mode.

• Help
This key displays the Help page for the current menu page. Depending on the actual menu page, the Help page will be context sensitive so that parameters highlighted in the menu will be described individually.

Save Preset?

This query might be shown after the current preset was edited and the "Back" key was selected to return to the "Internal Presets" or "External Presets" menu page. Touching "Yes" will save all edits made to the currently loaded preset. "No" will discard all edits.
