Scroller Calibration in 2.3

Hello!

I'm running an Ion at work and I installed 2.3 last week. Yesterday I saw that I was unable to calibrate my scrollers with the encoders- when I tried, the Calibrate button would only show up if I was in the first gel, open. As soon as I scrolled away (by gel every time, I couldn't get anything in between), the button would go disappear. I managed a work around using the ML Controls.

Thought I'd update ETC as well as see if I'm the only one with the issue or doing something silly.

Thanks!

I found that if I held down shift and moved the encoder ever so slightly to center the frame then the calibrate button would appear when I depressed the encoder.

Are you able to user [shift] and the encoder to make a small change and then choose {Calibrate}?

Thank you,

Hi Sasha,

That worked for me! I didn't know about the shift option. Thanks so much!

Scrollers are calibrated by using the Fine controls to adjust away from the existing Full-Frame position into the correct Full-Frame position.
You then hit {Calibrate} to record this as the new full-frame position.

However, we did change how you get into Fine mode when we added the [Shift] key.
Since then, holding down [Shift] enters Fine mode for the physical encoders.

So don't you need three hands to do that? One to press shift, one to turn the encoder and hold it down and then a third so you can press {Calibrate}?

Shift + Encoder will move it into position. Once you're happy with the new position, release Shift, press and hold the encoder and tap calibrate. Two hands, with one left hand movement in the middle. :)
