ETC Eos and Ion Tea Break Tutorials
From the ETC website, a tutorial download for the Eos and Ion consoles. This looks like it’s more useful if you have a console in front of you. If you don’t, maybe the tutorial videos would be more helpful. Either way, give it a shot and let us know what you thought was more helpful.
