in the CIA displaying your monitor placement options for the module.
Step 2: Click the placement option in the CIA in which you want the module to appear.
To close the direct selects on a monitor:
Step 1: Go to Browser>Virtual Controls>Close Module. The placement screen will appear
again in the CIA.
Step 2: Click the placement of the module you wish to close. The module will be removed.
For information on populating direct selects see Organizing the Direct Selects below.

If you prefer to have faders available to you, the monitors can be populated with virtual faders,
called slider modules.
To open the slider module on a monitor:
Step 1: Go to Browser>Virtual Controls>Slider Module. A window will open in the CIA
displaying your monitor placement options for the module.
Step 2: Click the placement option in the CIA in which you want the module to appear.
To close the slider module on a monitor:
Step 1: Go to Browser>Virtual Controls>Close Module. The placement screen will appear
again in the CIA.
Step 2: Click the placement of the module you wish to close. The module will be removed.
Organizing the Direct Selects
You have considerable flexibility in how you organize the direct selects. They may be arranged to
display one of several different types of data.
To choose which information to view:
Step 1: Click the {Select} button for any block of direct selects. You will be offered the
following choices to view: Channels, Groups, Intensity Palettes, Focus Palettes,
Color Palettes, Beam Palettes, Presets, Macros, and Effects.
Step 2: Click the button for the data you wish to view and the associated direct selects will
populate with any recorded information of that type. If there is no recorded information
of that type the block of buttons will remain empty but will populate with data of that
type as associated record targets are stored.
Step 3: You may also click {Select} again, without choosing any option, to return to the
previous state.
You can increase or decrease the size of any set of direct selects by pressing the {20/50} button,
which will change the display between one set of 50 buttons and two sets of 20 buttons.
