Advanced Manual Control 259
In each of these examples, the channel display will change to show the result of the command.
Wherever the reference was previously indicated (IP, FP, CP, BP, Pr), an absolute value
(numerical) will be seen.
In Live, data that is changed to absolute is also made manual, thereby requiring a record or
update instruction if the results are to be maintained.
{Make Absolute} can also be used in conjunction with an update command, allowing a cue to be
updated while also breaking the reference to palettes or presets that were manually modified.
Example:
[Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter]
Updates the active record target. Any manual values that were modifications to a
palette or preset stored in the cue will be updated as absolute data in the cue. The
reference will be discarded.
Using {Query}
{Query} is used to select channels that meet criteria specified by you. These selections are
conditional, based on what type of fixture a channel is or what that channel is doing, isn't doing,
can do or cannot do. These criteria are established in the command line using the softkeys, the
keypad, and the direct selects.
When {Query} is used, the following softkey conditions are available:
Is In
Isn’t In
Can Be
Can’t Be
Or
Moves Only
Unpatched
Less Than (includes equal to)
Greater Than (includes equal to)
Track
Up Moves
Down Moves
Live Moves
Dark Moves
Autoblock
Block
Part
Park
Time
Delay
Note: Unless otherwise specified, Element assumes that a query will apply to current
output. Therefore use of the {Is In} softkey is optional.
The CIA also repaints to display all of the available softkeys by which you can search. These can
be used in defining your query criteria.
