Detaching Devices
Pressing {Attach} twice will post the {Detach} command.
<Chan> [X] {Attach} {Attach} or <Address> [X] {Attach} {Attach} will remove the link between that
channel/address and the device at that address.
Clearing the Patch
You can clear the patch entirely by accessing the clear functions from Browser>Clear. The clear
functions window will open in the CIA.
To clear the patch, click {Clear Patch}. A confirmation is required before the patch will be cleared.
To create a 1-to-1 patch, click {Patch 1 to 1}. This will remove the current patch.
To exit the clear functions screen without clearing, press the [Displays] key at any time or select a
clear button and then select {Cancel} from the confirmation screen.
Update Library
When a new library is installed on Ion either from a software update or a separate fixture library file
from the ETC website, changes in library data will not automatically update your show files. This is to
prevent library changes from affecting a functional show file.
Using the {Fixtures}softkey in patch will open up the list of fixtures used in the current show file. In
this view, you will be able to tell which fixtures in the currently loaded show file differ from the desk’s
fixture library. For fixtures that have a library update, the {Update Lib} softkey will display in white,
and for fixtures that don’t have an update, the {Update Lib} softkey will be grayed out.
Note: When updating a fixture in Patch, a warning message will display that includes what
changes will be made to the fixture by updating it.
Note: For multiconsole systems, all devices have to use the same fixture library. If the fix-
ture library is different between devices, a warning will be displayed on the device trying to
connect to the system.
