BASIC RULE: You must specify the same quantity of consecutive
dimmers and consecutive channels in range patching commands.
Unpatching Channels and Dimmers
Unpatching a channel or dimmer means eliminating any patching assignments
associated with it. When you unpatch a channel, all dimmers patched to the
channel are unpatched. When you unpatch a dimmer, its association with the
channel is eliminated, but all other dimmers that are patched to the channel
remain patched to it. All special attributes of dimmers and channels remain
intact when they are unpatched (i.e., dimmer profiles, dimmer proportional
levels, Non-Dim dimmer status, Automated Channel status, etc.).
?
ADVANCED TOPICS: For more information on dimmer and
channel special attributes, see Chapter 20, Advanced Patching Options.
To perform unpatching, you use the (UNPCH CHANL) or (UNPCH DIM.) soft
keys, found in the Patch: By Channel and Patch: By Dimmer displays,
respectively. To unpatch a channel you must be in the Patch: By Channel
display, and to unpatch an individual dimmer you must be in the Patch: By
Dimmer display.
? EXAMPLE: To unpatch channel 2 through 7 in the Patch: By
Channel display:
(UNPCH CHANL) [2] [>] [7] [ENTER]
? EXAMPLE: To unpatch dimmers 7 and 24 in the Patch: By Dimmer
display:
(UNPCH DIM.) [7] [+] [24] [ENTER]
Default Dimmer or Channel
In both Patch: By Dimmer and Patch: By Channel displays, one line of the
patch is highlighted in reverse video. This indicates the default dimmer or
channel for entering commands. If a command is begun using the [@] key, the
console automatically inserts the default dimmer or channel prior to the "@" in
