About Partitioned Control
Partitioned control allows discrete control and programming of channels between multiple pro-
grammers.
When multiple programmers are working on an Eos Family system, partitioned control can be used
to restrict a specific user’s access to certain channels. This can help avoid overlapping control of
channels by multiple programmers at once.
Channels can be included in more than one partition.
How to Use Partitions
The primary use of partitioned control is to allow more than one programmer to work on a show file
at the same time without the risk of one user storing data for another user’s partitioned channels.
The most common example of this situation is when one user is programming moving lights while
another user programs conventional fixtures. Partitioned control allows these users to divide the
channels between them so they may work simultaneously. If one user stores data using record or
record only, partition control will guarantee that only data for their partitioned channels will be
stored. Data for channels not in their partition will be ignored when performing any store com-
mands.
Setting Up Partitioned Control
Partitioned Control is enabled or disabled in Setup>System>Partitions (see System Settings (on
page152).) Partition defaults to “Disabled”. Enabling or disabling partitioned control is a system-
wide setting.
Partition List
To view the partition list display, press the {Partitions} button in Setup>System. This display lists all
existing partitions. There are four pre-programmed partitions in Eos, they are:
Partition 0 - No channels and no fader control. This is the default for all users when partitioned
control is enabled for the first time on a show. To gain control, you must select a different par-
tition.
Partition 901 - All channels. Allows the user access to all channels.
Partition 902 - Single Parameter Channels. Allows the user access to only channels with a
single parameter.
Partition 903 - Multiple Parameter Channels. Allows the user access to only channels with mul-
tiple parameters.
To select a partition in the list, enter it in the command line.
{Partition} [9][0][2] [Enter]
If partitioned control is enabled, this will now be your assigned partition.
Creating New Partitions
To create a new partition, press:
{Partition} [x] [Enter] - where “x” is a number that does not yet exist in the partition list.
