If you used a Group, the first selected Fixture is the first one you selected
when originally storing the Group. If you selected Fixtures by holding down
two SWOP buttons and automatically selecting the Fixtures in between, the
first Fixture is the first SWOP button you held down, and the Fixtures are
held to ascend sequentially through the Group. The last Fixture in the Group
is the second SWOP button you held down.
Note that if you use this function with Tracking on, the Fixtures will all point
at the same position on the stage rather than copying the absolute Pan and
Tilt values. (See Chapter 11, Tracking Moving Lights).
4.7.3 Record Group
This records a Group. See Section 9.3 Programming Groups for more
information on Groups.
4.7.4 Define the Stage and Tracking On / Off
These functions are discussed in depth in Chapter 11 Tracking Moving
Lights.
4.7.5 Macros
Macros allow a pre-programmed set of values to be output to an Intelligent
Fixture to operate a certain function in that fixture.
Typically this may involve setting a channel to a level, waiting for several
seconds, then setting another channel to a set level and so on.
The function is similar to a chase but is operated by pressing a Softbutton.
For example a Macro has been designed to strike a Cyberlight,
Pressing the Macros option gives you a menu of any Macros available, and
selecting a Macro from the menu sends appropriate DMX levels to selected
Fixtures.
Pressing Softbutton H gives access to Page 2 of this menu.
See Section 26.11 MACROS for further information on how to write Macros.
4.7.6 Flip
A function for use with Moving Head Fixtures. They have two possible Pan
and Tilt positions for each point on stage, and FLIP will alternate between
them, allowing you freedom of movement across the area you wish to light
without hitting a pan stop.
Pressing Softbutton H returns you to Page 1 of this menu.
4.8 The OFF button
This function allows individual Channels within a Fixture or all the Channels
of a Fixture to be turned OFF.
