234 Reference / Window Overview
To re-process or review any command, simply double-click on the line and the command will reappear in the
command entry edit. The command will not execute until you press enter or click on the "Execute" button. This
enables you to edit the command before resubmitting it for processing.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: Commands in the history text box can also be retrieved into the command entry edit using
the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard. Pressing the up arrow will cycle through the last 100 commands
starting with the last command entered. The down arrow will scroll back through commands you have passed with
the up arrow.
Channel Commands
All commands take the following format. The square brackets ([]) indicate optional syntax.
[+ or -] Channels [Attribute] @ [DMX] Value [time Value]
CHANNELS
A list of all of the channels you want to apply some change to. Each channel is separated by either a comma (,) or plus
(+). A range of channels can be entered using the word "through" or the forward slash (/) symbol between two values.
Channels can be removed from a selection using the minus (-) key.
If you enter a channel list only the software will select the channels in the channel view. If the channel view is not
visible it will be opened and brought to the front of your screen. If you are selecting channels by not entering the "@
Value" on the end of the command then you can add a + or a - to the front of the text to add or subtract from the
currently selected channels.
Additional to the above selection technique you can use the keyword "THRU ON" to select only channels with in a
range that are currently active.
ATTRIBUTE
This section allows you to access generic attributes of fixtures that you have selected. By default, the software will
operate on the dimmer as it is assumed that all fixtures have this function (Not always true).
The following attributes can be entered:
PAN, TILT, COLOR, GOBO, GOBO R, CONTROL, EFFECT, ZOOM, DIFF, IRIS, EDGE,
FOCUS, STROBE, COLORIDX, GOBOIDX
Some of these attributes can accept a number following the command to access features where more than one of an
attribute exists. E.g. Some intelligent fixtures have more than one color wheel. If a command is entered with the word
COLOR then color wheel 1 is selected by default. To select color wheel 2 the command should read COLOR2.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: 24 / 30 gobo2 @ 235 - Set the gobo wheel 2 on the fixture patched to desk channel 24
through 30 to DMX value 235.
