where as the actual translation assignment is used in individual libraries. As tables from the pool may
be edited or deleted and to avoid that modifications to tables has unwanted effects to translations in
other user libraries, a copy of the original table is used for the actual translation - not the table from
the pool. As a consequence modifications to a table in the pool does not affect already assigned
translations, even if originally based on the modified table. To update assigned translations so they
are identical to the table, use the update method (see below).
DMX in translation dialog
To access the DMX in translation dialog, select Value-translations from the main menu of the DMX
in configuration dialog.
DMX in translation dialog
The left hand side of the dialog contains all available DMX in control channels (1-512) and assigned
translation tables, while the right hand side contains a list of available translation tables as well as
notes and a graphical representation of the selected translation dialog. Note: assigning translations to
DMX in does nothing by itself; remember to assign DMX in as source of the relevant DMX output
channels in the global patch dialog.
Assigning and removing translations
Locate the table in the list of available channels and drag it to the line representing the DMX in
channel. Alternatively, first highlight the table, then highlight one or more DMX in channels; finally
right-click, one of the selected DMX in channels and select Assign table:<table name> from the pop
up menu. To remove one or more translations, highlight the DMX in channels, right-click and select
Remove translation from the pop up menu.
Note: when assigning a table to a DMX in channel, a copy of the original table is assigned - not a
reference to the table. This is an important difference if the table is later modified - modifying a table
does not automatically update the copy made when the table was assigned (see updating translations
below)
Editing existing and creating new tables
To edit an existing table, highlight the table, right-click and select Edit table from the pop up menu.
To create a copy of an existing table select, right-click and select Copy table. To create a new table
from scratch select Create table from the pop up menu. To create a new table from an already
assigned translation, right-click the assignment and select Copy to new table.
Either option opens the edit translation table dialog
