ETC Element 2 User Manual

Presets 295
{Make Null} can be used with by type preset when you wish to withhold a channel from
responding to a by type preset recall. The data will still display but will be in gray with a “N”.
Updating By Type Presets
Pressing {By Type} after an [Update] command, with a channel tracking but no default channel
included in the update, will cause the lowest numbered tracking channel's level to be updated
into the default channel. The tracking channel will remain tracking. This means that when
updating a default value in a by type preset, you don’t need to know the default channel
number.
When a default channel is included in an [Update] command without using {By Type} and
another channel is tracking it, the default channel’s data will be changed to discrete. The
lowest numbered tracking channel will then become the new default channel. Any other
updated channels will be made discrete.
