by the library, use [Offset]. See Using {Offset} in Patch, page 66.
• If you specify a start address that conflicts with other channels already patched, the
conflicting channels will be unpatched after a confirmation from the user.
• {Interface} - An optional field used to specify what network interfaces should be used for the
output. When the field is left blank, the default data output is used as selected in the
{Network} section of the ECU. For more information about setting defaults, see Output
Protocols, page 247. The interface options available are Default, ACN, EDMX, ArtNet, Avab
UDP, and DMX, depending on what has been enabled in the {Network} section of the ECU
for the console. If the output is the default, as drawn from the settings in the ECU, this field
will be blank.
• {Flash} - will bring a channel or address to full, and then every other second the level will
move to 15%. That will hold for 1 second, and then the level will return to full. The channel or
address will keep flashing until the command line is cleared.
Attributes
The {Attributes} area of patch provides you with optional fields for additional information and
details relating to your patched fixtures.
The {Attributes} settings that apply to conventional fixtures are {Preheat}, {Proportion}, {Curve},
{LD Flags}, and {GM Exempt}. Additional settings that apply to moving lights and accessories are
{Fan Curve}, {Invert Tilt}, {Invert Pan}, and {Swap P/T}.
When the selected device includes a color scroller, a {Scroller} button will be displayed in the CIA,
and when the selected device includes a color wheel, a gobo wheel, or an effect wheel, {Color
Wheel}, {Gobo Wheel}, or {Effect Wheel} buttons will appear.
With a channel selected, click the desired attribute button and use the keypad to set the attribute
value.
• {Preheat} -This field allows you to specify an intensity value to preheat incandescent
filaments. When a preheat flag is applied to a cue, any channels that are fading from zero to
an active intensity and have been assigned a preheat value in patch will preheat in the
immediately preceding cue.
• [1] {Preheat} [0] [3] [Enter] - channel 1 is assigned a patched preheat value of 3%.
The preheat flag is applied to a cue as an attribute when the cue is recorded. See “Preheat”
on page 117.
• {Proportion} - An attribute to set a modifier for the intensity of the device. If the patch limit is
set at 90% (for example), the actual output will always be 10% lower than the specified
intensity parameter, as impacted by the various playbacks or submasters. This value is set
numerically in a range of 0% to 200%.
• [1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [1] [2] [5] [Enter] -applies a 125% proportion to channel
1.
• [1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [Enter] - removes the applied proportion from channel 1.
