The first 180 dimmers will be patched onto faders 1 to 180 in that DMX order, using
DMX line 1.
7. WIPE ALL AND SELECTING THE NUMBER OF HTP
CHANNELS REQUIRED
A WIPEALL restores the desks memory to the factory settings, removing any
programming you may have done. Do a backup onto disk if you wish to keep
previous programming.
When doing a WIPE ALL you will be prompted to enter how many HTP channels you
will require.
You require 1 HTP channel for each dimmer, remembering that each moving light
requires one dimmer channel. It is always best to allow a few more HTP channels
than you actually require since this number cannot easily be changed. The maximum
number of HTP channels is 450 and the minimum is 1.
You can view the number of HTP channels, LTP channels, and how many are in use
by selecting CHANNEL STATISTICS from the VIEW menu.
You set the number of HTP channels after doing a WIPE ALL. To do a wipe all do
the following.
• Turn the key to SYSTEM
• Press button [A], SERVICE
• Press button [F], WIPE ALL
• Press button [A], EXECUTE WIPEALL
Once you press this you are past the point of no return! A wipe all has been
done, however you must now configure the desk regarding the number of
HTP (dimmer) channels you require. This may be in the range of 1 to 450. All
the remaining channels are allocated as LTP channels. (If you require more
than 450 dimmer channels see the section on LTP FADE channels.)
• Enter the number of dimmer channels you require, or if you require 180 press
[ENTER]
• Turn the key back to RUN or PROGRAM as required.
8. PATCHING FROM SCRATCH
Before patching you may wish to do a DISK Backup and WIPE ALL.
The WIPE ALL will erase everything so make a disk if you wish to keep previously
programmed information.
