9.6 The CHANNEL button
The CHANNEL button offers additional ways to Select and control Intelligent
Fixtures. It provides a convenient means to Select Fixtures on different
Pages without having to keep changing pages.
The use of this button allows different types of Fixtures to be dealt with as
individual groups that can then be manipulated. The user can deal with
groups of different types of lights in terms of their own numbers instead of
having to use Handle numbers.
eg. Fixtures on a show consisting of 4 Intellabeams and 10 Cyberlights can
be Selected as Intellabeam 2 or Cyberlight 6 instead of whatever their
Handle numbers are.
This is useful on a show where the Fixtures are on more than one Page of
Fixtures, and the board markings may be getting confusing. The Fixtures
take their numbering from their lowest Handle number up, so the Fixture of a
particular type with the highest Handle number will be the last number in the
group.
⇒ Pressing EXIT does not allow you to quit the Channel menu. The only
way to get out of it is to press the CHANNEL button again.
