You can use the Fan button to evenly spread fixtures in the
layout.
The Layout Editor is described in more detail with examples in
the Pixel Mapper section 6.6.4 on page 137.
You can randomize the fixture order when selecting
fixtures using a group by holding the group button and
pressing [Random Order].
4.4 Advanced options
4.4.1 The ML Menu button
When the console is at the top level menu, this button opens the
Moving Light Actions menu which contains options to Locate Fixture
(same as the Locate button) and to run Macros on fixtures such as
Lamp On, Lamp Off, Reset etc. The Align Fixtures and Flip functions
as described above are also in this menu.
On the Pearl Expert and Tiger Touch Mk1, this button also latches the
current menu when the console is not at the top level menu. Press
Exit to get back to the top menu so that you can access the Moving
Light menu. On other consoles there is a dedicated Latch Menu
button.
4.4.2 Lamping fixtures on and off
Many fixtures have a control channel which allows you to perform
functions like lamp on, lamp off, fixture reset, and so on. This can be
useful to shut down fixture lamps at the end of a show while the fans
continue to run, or to reset a fixture which has gone haywire.
The console allows you to access these functions using Fixture Macros
(not to be confused with keypress macros).
1> Keep pressing Exit until you are at the top level menu.
2> Select the fixtures you wish to control. Macros may not work
across groups of fixtures from different manufacturers so it’s
best to do each type of fixture separately.
3> Press Fixture Tools/ML Menu then [Macros].
4> The softkeys show a list of the functions available. Press the
one you want to action.
Some macros involve timed sequences and can take up to 30
seconds to execute.
