Masking Using the Command Line
When recording a palette using the command line, you can choose which fixed kinds and / or
user kind functions you want to start off with in the mask by listing them on the command line
before the Record command:
Colour Position Record Colour 3 Enter: records the colour and position
parameters of the Programmer or editor contents into Colour Palette 3.
Recording Only Selected Fixtures
By default, all fixtures currently in the Programmer or editor are recorded. To record only
selected fixtures:
1. Fixture 2 : select the fixture(s) you want to record in the palette.
2. Re cord
3. On the Record Options Toolbar press: Se lected
4. Position, Enter: records only the position values for fixture 2 into the next available
position palette, rather than values for all fixtures in the Programmer.
8.6.3 Palette Timing
To include timing when recording palettes ensure that the "Time" kind in the kind masking
menu is selected after pressing record; see Masking Using the Record Options Toolbar.
You can also record palettes that contain only timing information (no function values) by only
masking in "Time" when recording the palette. For example, to record a time only colour
palette with a fade time of 6 seconds:
1. Assign any values to the fixture functions you want to create a timing palette for.
2. Assign a fade time to the fixture functions such as 6 seconds.
3. Time Record Colour 2 Enter : records only the timing information that was in the
programmer into Colour Palette 2.
You can also edit timings in the palette's editor. See Editing Palette Contents.
