Appendix C: Hand Held Remote
Software Version 3.05
C-3
If the HHR is not plugged into the console at the time you enable it, you get an
error message that tells you that the HHR was not detected. The HHR is
enabled, even if it is not detected, so that you can leave it enabled and plug in
the HHR later.
The Encore Hand Held Remote port receives keystroke codes in particular order
to make up commands to be executed by the console. Generally speaking,
commands at the HHR are made the same way that they are at the console in
the Stage display. All commands must be terminated by the [ENTER] key,
which sends the command to the processor for execution. The exception to this
is single-keystroke commands that do not require [ENTER], as follows:
?? [GO]
?? [STOP/REV]
?? [CLEAR]
?? [NEXT]
?? [LAST]
?? [UP]
?? [DOWN]
Because the HHR uses the console Command Line, the HHR can start a
command that can be finished by the console operator, and vice-versa. All of
the keys on the HHR have the same function as the like-named keys on the
console. The only exceptions are the [UP] and [DOWN] keys on the HHR
which mimic the action of the wheel on the console. See the table at the end of
this appendix for a list of all keys and their functions.
Hand Held Remote Display: The HHR display is a backlit LCD so
you can see information when you are working in dimly lit areas that are
common in theatrical venues. The LCD has four lines of information:
?? 1st line = Current Stage Cue (or captured channel numbers)
?? 2nd line = Next Cue in the execution list (or captured channel levels)
?? 3rd line = Last command that was executed (Command Line
History)
?? 4th line = Current Command Line
If there is more information in the channel list or in the Command Line than
can be shown on the LCD, you can use the [LAST] and [NEXT] keys (like the
Arrow keys on the console) to move the information that is displayed.
Dimmer Check Mode: When you address a dimmer using the Dimmer
key, you place the console in Dimmer Check mode. The command syntax for
starting a Dimmer Check is:
[DIM] [#] [@] [level] [ENTER]
The HHR LCD shows the dimmer number and level and says, "DIMMER
CHECK" to indicate that the console is in Dimmer Check mode. The level of
the dimmer is controlled by the wheel at the console, and by the [UP] and
[DOWN] keys on the HHR. By pressing the [NEXT] and [LAST] keys, you
