Basic Manual Control 171
Note: Selecting channels from the summary or table displays will start a new command
line.
Select Channels From the Keypad
The keypad defaults to selecting channels. Channels may be selected on the control keypad using
the [+] and/or [-] and [Thru] keys for consecutive or non-consecutive channel selection.
The following examples illustrate various methods of selecting channels from the control keypad:
[5] [Enter] - selects channel 5.
[5] [+] [7] [Enter] - selects non-consecutive channels 5 and 7.
[5] [Thru] [9] [Enter]- selects channels 5 through 9.
[2] [Thru] [8] [-] [5] [Enter] - selects a range of channels 2 through 8, except channel 5.
[-] [6] [Enter] - removes channel 6 from the current selection list.
[+] [1] [Enter] - adds channel 1 to the current list of channels.
Note: You may use [+] and/or [-] multiple times to add or remove multiple channels from
the selection. [Thru] lists may be entered in ascending or descending order.
Note: The [Thru] command uses the current flexichannel state. Channels not included in
the flexichannel mode (except selected channels mode) are not collected in a thru range.
[Thru] [Thru] can be used to collect all channels in the range, even if they are not in the cur-
rent flexi mode. See Using Flexichannel(on page66) for more information.
Modifying a Terminated Channel Selection
It is possible to add or remove channels from a previously terminated command line. You will need to
first press [+] or [-] and then you can add to or remove from your current channel selection. This
includes selecting channels from the direct selects, summary view, and Magic Sheets.
Using Groups as a Channel Collector
[Group] can be used as a quick way to collect channels from submasters, cues, palettes, or presets.
SeeAbout Groups (on page204) for more information.
The following actions are possible:
[Group] [Cue] [1] - selects all the channels in cue 1.
[Group] [Sub] [3] - selects all the channels in submaster 3.
[Group] [Int Palette] [5]- selects all the channels in intensity palette 5.
[Next] and [Last]
The [Next] and [Last] buttons increment and decrement channel selection. If only one channel is
selected, [Next] increments the channel selection to the next sequential channel, while [Last] decre-
ments the channel selection by one.
