Using DMX values for Points
You can specify points and levels using DMX values rather than percent value. This lets you
specify more precise curves than is possible with percent values.
point [@] {DMX} level [*] sets the anchor point specified by point to the DMX level
specified by level. The anchor point can be from 0 to 100 while the level can be from 0 to
255. The display will show the nearest percent level for the specified DMX level, but the
system will use the DMX level.
[1] [0] [@] {DMX} [3] [0] [*]
Sets the 10% point to a DMX level of 30. This shows on screen as 12%. {DMX} point #
{DMX} level # [*] sets the anchor point specified by point to the DMX level specified by
level. Both numbers can be any number from 0 to 255. Unlike the syntax for specifying
points by percent, there is no [@] used in this command.
Since the graph view can only display 100 points and 100 levels, once you specify a point using
this method for a profile, the graph view is replaced with a point list and the Graph Editing
function is no longer available for that profile.
{DMX} [2] [3] {DMX} [4] [0] [*]
Sets the point represented by the DMX value of 23 to a DMX level of 40. The
State screen switches to a point list rather than the standard profile graph.
{DMX} [2] [3] [*]
Clears the above command
Using Graph Editing
Graph editing lets you use the trackball or mouse to highlight where you want to place an anchor
point and then insert the point. You can move the end points this way, and easily add more
points.
Each end point, and any point you add, is an anchor point for a section of the curve and is shown
in white rather than green. When you add a point, the curve is redrawn so that there is a straight
line between the new point and the nearest anchor point(s).
trackerball or mouse {INSERT POINT} {INSERT POINT} sets an anchor point in the
profile. Anchor points are shown in white. All other points in the profile are calculated to
create straight lines between adjacent anchor points.
trackerball or mouse Highlights the location for the new point. The trackball or mouse
moves the highlight in 5% steps. To change point values in 1% steps, use [+] and [-].
{INSERT POINT} {INSERT POINT} Inserts the point and recalculates all points between
the end points and the new anchor point
{DELETE POINT} {DELETE POINT} deletes an anchor point in the profile. The profile is
recalculated so that there is a straight line between the anchor points on either side of the
deleted point. You cannot delete end points. They are always anchor points.
trackerball or mouse Highlights the point you wish to delete.
{DELETE POINT} {DELETE POINT} Deletes the point and recalculates all points
between the two anchor points that were adjacent to it.
