To update already assigned translation tables with the content of a table that has subsequently been
modified, right-click the table entry and select update translations - the option is only available if one
or more previoiusly assigned translations has content different from the table.
Editing translation tables
The built in translation table editor allows users to edit the contents of translation tables, or to create
a translation data file for manual editing using an Ascii editor (see below).
Edit translation table dialog
Using the editor
To set or modify single translation values, simply type the desired value into the list on the left (values
0-255 only).
To set a linear range of values use the set linear range function. First enter the value interval to
translate and then the value interval to translate to, e.g. to translate values 50 -> 100 into 150 -> 170
enter 50 and 100 into the two value fields followed by 150 and 170 into the translation fields. Then
click set.
ID - The ID is a unique identifier that is used as a reference between assigned translations and the
original translation table. The value cannot be modified with the editor.
Type - Use the type field to describe the overall type of the table. If the table is for a specific fixture
function the type field should contain a description that identifies the manufacturer and fixture type, e.
g. MARTIN MX-10. When assigning translations, available tables are stored in 'folders' according to
the contents in the type field.
Name - Name of the table. When created for a specific fixture, the name should describe the function
of the table, e.g. MX-10 Strobe (regular).
Purpose - Used for further text describing the function of the table, e.g. DMX in strobe override -
use switch in global patch to disable override at fader = 0-5
Click Ok to save the modified table or Cancel to discard any modifications. Note: Remember to
update already assigned translation tables with modified table contents using the update function.
