CAUTION: If a channel with programmed data is deleted, the recorded data will be lost.
[Query] {Unpatched}
To quickly delete channels without addresses in the Patch display, you can use the command [Query]
{Unpatched} [Delete]. This will post to the command line all channels without addresses. By pressing
[Enter][Enter] you will delete them.
Using {Offset} in Patch
Using the {Offset} feature in patch allows you to force a numerical offset between the starting
address of channels in patch or for offsetting your channel selection. This feature is useful when you
have configurable devices in your show, such as a Source Four Revolution, which has option slots for
additional addresses (scrollers, indexing pattern wheels, and so on), or when your devices' start
addresses use a known multiplier.
[1] [Thru] [2] [0] {Offset} [2] [At] [1] {Offset} [2] [0] [Enter] - selects every other channel in the
list and patches them with an offset of 20 addresses.
For Example:
When patching using a fixture type, this is a two step process because the command line ter-
minates after a fixture type has been selected.
1. [1] [Thru] [5] {Type} {Source Four Revolution}
2. [At] [1] {Offset} [3] [1] [Enter]
Hitting [At] will reselect the previously selected channels. The channels can then be patched
with an address offset of 31 channels, allowing you to have additional space within the
patch for a given fixture type regardless of configuration or personality.
Note: For multiple parameter devices, Eos will automatically offset the addresses based on
the fixture type.
Creating multipart and compound channels
A multipart channel is any channel that has more than one dimmer patched to it. A compound chan-
nel has multiple profiles patched to it that make up one channel, an example would be a dimmer with
a scroller and auto-yoke. By default, Eos will add a part if you are trying to patch to a channel that
has already been assigned an address.
To patch a multipart channel in channelformat:
