attributes where the output is divided up into ranges, such as colour
wheels, you enter the index of the range you want. For example to
select the 3rd colour (as displayed in the list above the wheel) you
would enter 3.
4.1.8 Adjusting attributes with the @ buttons
Pressing the @ button next to a wheel opens the Adjust Attribute
Value menu for that attribute.
You can also open this menu by touching the centre of the wheel view
for the attribute, or by clicking on the attribute in the Channel Grid
window. The Pearl Expert does not have @ buttons so you will need
to use these latter methods to access the menu.
The menu gives you the following functions:
• Select Function: gives you shortcuts on the softkeys to the
possible settings for the attribute (for dimmers, a range of
values is provided).
• Touch/Clear: places the attribute in the programmer or
removes the attribute from the programmer
• Locate: locates the attribute (does not place in programmer)
• Release: releases the attribute
• Off: sets the attribute to Off. This temporarily disables the
attribute, though its value is stored and can be restored with
On.
• On: sets the attribute to On (when merged to a cue or palette,
On will restore a value which has previously been set to Off)
• Freeze/Unfreeze: freeze or unfreeze the attribute
4.1.9 Selecting fixtures and dimmers by number (Channel)
In some situations, for example when programming lots of dimmers,
it can be easier to type in the dimmer channels you want to program.
The Channel menu allows you to do this for dimmers or fixtures. To
access the Channel menu, press the Fixture button on the top left of
the numeric keypad (Channel button on black Pearl Experts). You can
also simply start typing numbers on the keypad, when you press
Thro, And or @ (functions of the grey buttons at the bottom of the
numeric keypad) then the Channel menu will be shown.
Fixtures may be selected by User Number, Handle Number or DMX
Address, as set by the option on Softkey A.
For Through, And and @ you can either use the softkeys or the grey
buttons at the bottom of the numeric keypad.
When using the Channel menu it is helpful to latch it by pressing the
Menu Latch button.
• To select a fixture, type the number and press Enter.
• To select more than one fixture, press the [And] softkey
between each number. For example 1 And 2 And 5 Enter will
select 1, 2, 5.
• To select a range of fixtures, press [Through]. For example 1
Through 8 Enter will select 1-8.
