Contents of the Patch Display: The main upper portion of the
Patch display consists of two tables of four columns each (each table is a
sequential continuation of the information). The four columns of data in Patch:
By Channel mode are listed sequentially by channel as follows (in Patch: By
Dimmer mode, the first and second columns are swapped):
?? Column 1, Channel, lists the channels in sequential order.
?? Column 2, Dimmer, lists the dimmers assigned to each channel.
?? Column 3, Level %, shows the current proportional level, or parked
level of the dimmer.
?? Column 4, Profile, shows the Profile number assigned to the dimmer (if
any).
Below the two tables is a key indicating the colors used in this display as
follows:
?? pink = Parked dimmer
?? green = Virtual Non-Dim dimmer
?? purple = Automated channel
? NOTE: When a dimmer is parked, a "P" appears to the left of the
parked level in the Level % column, and the level is shown in pink.
?
