About Groups
Groups are meant as a programming aid and are a quick way to access specific groups of fixtures. As opposed to the
theatrical term "Group" they do not store any values. They only store information about fixture selection and
selection order.
Creating a Group
To record your first group, start out by selecting fixtures 501 through 512 by using the Keypad (refer to "Selecting
Fixtures" on page 63 for more information).
Storing a Fixture Group Using Group Pool Window
Once fixtures are selected to be a Group, press and hold the [REC] button and then press the [GROUP] button. The
Groups pool window (Figure 124) will appear. Select any empty slot (an empty box with a number in the corner) to
store a new Fixture Group.
Note: You may also hit the [REC] key only, and select an empty Group Item in the External Monitors Group Pool
Window.

Storing a Group Using Command Line Interface
As soon as you selected the fixtures you wish to group together, press the [REC] keypad button followed by the
[GROUP] keypad button. Now, type the number of the memory space to store the group using the keypad (for
example) [1] followed by [ENTER].

Note: You may label any item by pressing [ASSIGN] keypad button twice. The command line will read "Name".
Now select the Item you would like to label and type in the name.
