Only things needed in that control pannel is to enable the high pass filters on the inputs, (which you can do relatively easily enough by putting an eq on the insert as a work around) and changing sync if you wanted to use things like S/PDIF and etc. Otherwise i think you can set up cue mixes in there but thats once again easy enough to do in PT itself if you ever needed to. In all honesty in the whole time i owned mine, i think someone from Avid remoted into my system and turned on the high pass filters for me and that was it never went back in there or needed to. THe only catch to using a non motorized control surface is the faders doesn't snap to their proper location when you load a project. There for you have to move the fader till it crosses the point where the volume or which ever parameter you are trying to control is crossed. at that point it will kick in and start to adjust the parameter. Can it be used for automation? Yes? But before enabling the automation to write make sure the fader is already crossed that point and controlling the parameter. Once it is, enable write and you can start your automation.
