Stepping through fixtures using Previous & Next Fixture
Sometimes it is desirable to step through the fixtures one by one at a time, especially when used in
combination with the “Highlight” function to be able to quickly and easily focus many lights in series.
This may be accomplished using the [Prev] or [Next] keys found on the console frontpanel.
Each press on one of the keys will sub-select a single fixture including all of its instances from within the
current selection.
Repeatedly pressing [Prev] or [Next] steps backwards or forwards through the current selection, with
the order determined by the selection order.
[Prev] [+] [Next] will bring you back to your original selection.
Holding the [Infinity] Key while pressing [Prev] or [Next] will step through individual instances.
Selecting X out of Y.
The console offers a built in modulo sub-selection function which will select every Xth fixture out of Y.
The syntax is quite easy: We use [/] for the “out of” part of the command.
In the following example, we are going to select every first fixture out of three:
● Select fixtures 1 to 12
● Type [1] [/] [3] [Enter] on the keypad.
● To select every second fixture out of three, type [2] [/] [3] [Enter]
● To select every third fixture out of three, type [3] [/] [3] [Enter]
Please note you may also combine the modulo function with more advanced functions:
● Select fixtures 1 to 12
● Type [1] [+] [2] [/] [3] [Enter] on the keypad. This translates into “Select each first and
second fixture out of three”.
Or:
● Select fixtures 1 to 12
● Typing [1] [thru] [3] [+] [5] [/] [5] [Enter] on the keypad translates into “Select each
first through third and fifth fixture out of five fixtures”.
Using the [Prev] or [Next] keys will advance through the current modulo subselection.
