4.1.9 Selecting fixtures and dimmers by number (Channel)
In some situations, for example when programming lots of dimmers,
it can be easier to type in the dimmer channels you want to program.
The Channel menu allows you to do this for dimmers or fixtures. To
access the Channel menu, press the Fixture button on the top left of
the numeric keypad. You can also simply start typing numbers on the
keypad, when you press Through, And or @ then the Channel menu
will be shown.
Through, And and @ are provided as softkey functions or (depending
on console) are buttons adjacent to the numeric keypad.
Fixtures may be selected by User Number, Handle Number or DMX
Address, as set by the option on Softkey A.
When using the Channel menu it is helpful to latch it by pressing the
Menu Latch button.
• To select a fixture, type the number and press Enter.
• To select more than one fixture, press the [And] softkey
between each number. For example 1 And 2 And 5 Enter will
select 1, 2, 5.
• To select a range of fixtures, press [Through]. For example 1
Through 8 Enter will select 1-8.
• To miss out fixtures in a range, use [Not], for example 1
Through 4 Not 3 Enter will select 1, 2, and 4.
• The @ softkey sets a dimmer level to the selected fixtures, for
example 1 Through 8 @ 5 Enter will set 1-8 at 50%. (You can
choose whether 50% is entered as “5” or “50” in the User
Settings – see section
13.1.3 on page 233). When you press @
there are softkey opti
ons for Full, Off and +/- (increase or
decrease brightness).
• You can work with Groups using the Group button, for example
Group 1 And Group 2 Not 5 Enter will select all fixtures in group
1 and group 2 except for fixture 5.
• You can use the Locate button instead of Enter, to select
fixtures and locate them. For example 1 Through 4 Locate will
select fixtures 1 to 4 and locate them.
• When entering a command, the command line is shown on the
display. You can go back using the grey Back button and you
can abandon the line using the grey @ button.
