104 Ion Operations Manual
Replace
By default, if you patch an address to a channel that is already patched, Ion will create a new part for
the new address. If you want to replace the current address with the new, use {Replace}:
[n] {Replace} [n] [Enter] - replaces the address in part 1 of the selected channel.
[1] [Part] [3] {Replace} [5] [Enter] - replaces the address of part 3 with a new address of 5.
At Next
[At] [Next] [Enter] finds the next available address range large enough to accommodate the selected
device.
Examples of [At] [Next]:
[At] [2] [/] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address range on universe 2.
[At] [7] [7] [7] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address after 777.
{Address} [n] [/]
The syntax {Address} [n] [/] or [At] [n] [/] can be used to select a full universe in patch.
[channel list] {Address} [n] [/] [Enter] or [channel list] [At] [n] [/] [Enter] - changes the addresses
of all the selected channels to a new universe while using the same offset.

- moves all channels withaddresses in universe 2 to the same offsets in universe 3.
{Address}[n] [/] {Unpatch} - unpatches all patched addresses in the selected universe.
Dimmer Doubling
You can patch channels in Ion to accommodate for dimmer doubling with Sensor dimmer racks. This
is done using the softkeys available in patch ({No Dim Dbl}, {A}, and {B}).
For Example:
Let’s assume you patch 96 channels of dimmers to addresses 1 through 96.
[1] [Thru] [9] [6] [At] [1] [Enter]
Now you wish to dimmer double 1 through 12 of your Sensor+ rack and you want these to
be channels 97 through 108. To patch this, press:
[9] [7] [Thru] [1] [0] [8] [At] [1] {B} [Enter]
Channels 97 through 108 are patched to address 1 through 12 B, while channels 1 through
12 are now patched to address 1 through 12 A.
To remove the dimmer doubling from these addresses, you must first press [Format] to
enter Address mode and then press:
[1] [Thru] [1] [2] {NoDimDbl} [Enter]
Addresses 1 through 12 have been returned to single dimmer modes and channels 97
through 108 are now unpatched.
