cursor buttons. Note that old files stored internally can be cleared from the
<Update Fixture Lib> menu if required.
6. Having selected the manufacturer of the fixture, press the down cursor button to
move to the next line, and then use the left & right cursor buttons to select the
fixture model. For fixtures with multiple modes, it is very important to ensure
that the mode selected on the fixture matches that of the fixture personality file.
7. Once the fixture model has been selected, press the down cursor button to
move to the <Assign> button, and press ENTER. The name of the fixture will
now appear on the LCD above the corresponding Multi-Function-Key.
8. If you need to un-assign a fixture, simply select it using the Multi-Function-Key,
and hold down the CLEAR button for a short duration until it’s name is blanked.
9. Repeat steps 2-7 above for all fixtures you wish to assign. When you’ve
finished, navigate to <Exit> and press ENTER. You will be returned to the
Setup menu.
10. Fixtures must now be patched to their DMX addresses – see the DMX Patch
menu option for details.
Record Options
By default the desk operates in ‘Partial’ mode. This means that parameters must be
‘tagged’ to be recorded. Parameters are automatically tagged by the desk when they
are changed, or you can manually tagged/untag them. Additional options allow you
to define how the tagging is treated for each attribute. By switching the desk into
‘Full’ mode, everything is recorded and tagging is not used, however this results in
less flexibility particularly for Palettes and Submasters.
To change these options, use the cursor buttons to select <Record Options> and
press ENTER.
The ‘Mode’ setting allows you to choose between the Partial and Full recording
modes described above. Select this field and press ENTER to toggle the recording
mode. When ‘Partial’ is selected, the following 4 options will be presented:
Brightness: All/Channel
When set to ‘All’, fixture intensity channels and preset channels are always
recorded. When set to ‘Channel’, fixture intensity channels and preset channels
must be tagged to be recorded. The default setting is ‘All’. Since all brightness
channels are mixed HTP and thus can be excluded by simply programming at
0%, it should not normally be necessary to change this setting.
Colour: All/Channel
When set to ‘All’, if one colour parameter is changed by moving a wheel, then all
colour parameters for the currently selected fixtures are automatically also tagged
by the desk. When set to ‘Channel’, only the adjusted colour parameter is tagged
by the desk. The default setting for colour is ‘All’.
Beamshape: All/Channel
When set to ‘All’, if one beamshape parameter is changed by moving a wheel,
then all beamshape parameters for the currently selected fixtures are
automatically also tagged by the desk. When set to ‘Channel’, only the adjusted
