Ordering of Dimmer Numbers, [S2]
You have the option of viewing and addressing dimmers either 1 - 512, per
port, or 1 - 1536 across all three ports. This soft-key toggles in between the
two views.
Sorted by Channel or Sorted by Dimmer, [S3]
This soft-key toggles between sorting either by console control channel or
by output dimmer.
Patching 1 To 1
Use the (1 to 1) soft-key in the Patch display to patch each channel to the
dimmer of the same number (ch 1 at dim 1, ch 2 at dim 2, etc.). This is the
default setting for the patch table. Parked dimmers, Non-Dim dimmers,
proportional dimmer levels, and profiles are retained when you execute this
command. (Refer to
Chapter 3 Setting Channel Levels
for more information
on Parked Dimmers.)
Follow these steps to create a 1 to 1 patch:
Procedure: Notes:
1. Press [PATCH] Opens Patch display
2. Press (1 to 1) Prompt reads: "Are you sure
you want to create a 1 to 1
patch? Enter 1 = Yes, 2 = No,
3 = Select Port"
3. Enter [1] on Keypad 1 to 1 patch created
Selecting option 1 in the example above automatically patches all three
ports (A, B and C) to a 1 to 1 patch. This may be unwanted in some
situations; for example, when you want automated devices on Port C.
Patches for automated devices are defined from the Device
Assignments sub-display of the Setup display. See
Chapter 10
Automated Devices
for additional information.
