Chapter 3 Setting Channel Levels
Page 34 Rev. 1.30.03.07.r1
Captured Channels
Captured channels are channels with levels that are currently being set with
either the keypad or trackball and are shown in boxed amber in the display.
Captured channels are not the same as active channels, which can also be
visible in the display (see
Active Channels
section below).
You do not need to set channels to a level to capture them, they can be
captured by simply listing them and pressing [ENTER]. For example, to
capture channels 5 - 20, press [5] [THRU] [20] [ENTER].
Once levels are captured, any command that begins with [AT] will affect
the currently captured channels. For example, if channels 1 thru 5 have
already been captured, just pressing [AT] [50] will set the channels to
50%.
When the command line is empty, pressing the [ENTER] key captures
all
active channels.
The exception to this is that pressing [ENTER] does not capture any
automated device traits. Automated devices must be dealt with
specifically. See
Chapter 10 Automated Devices
.
The [CLEAR] key releases captured channels, but the command line must
be inactive or else the [CLEAR] key acts like a backspace key to clear
keystrokes from the command line.
The following example shows how to capture channels, set levels, release
channels and clear all channels:
Procedure: Notes:
1. Press [STAGE] Opens Stage display
2. Press [1] [THRU] [20] Chs 1 thru 20 are captured
3. Press [AT] [75] Chs 1 thru 20 are captured
and set to 75%
4. Press [CLEAR] Captured levels are released
5. Press [ENTER] [AT] [ENTER] All levels are re-captured
6. Press [CLEAR] All levels are cleared
