Now select what to copy from the source fixture (normally all options should be checked)
Copy Sequence Data - copies all data in all sequences from the source fixture.
Copy Presets - copies all preset data from the source fixture.
Copy Setup - copies all setup specific data (except DMX address) from source fixture.
Copy Generic Macros - copies contents of generic DMX macros from source to target fixture.
Copy Misc Data - copies what doesn't fit in the previous categories (e.g. default DMX output)
It is not possible to copy to multiple target fixtures in one operation, fixtures must be copied
individually. Also note that for user definable color scrollers only the intensity information will be
copied, the color information will not be copied.
Notes/Hints
Changing a fixtures DMX address
The copy from fixture function may also be useful to move an already programmed fixture's DMX
address. To move a fixtures DMX address do the following:
Configure a new fixture of identical type and apply an unused DMX address (range) to the new fixture.
Save the configuration. Copy the contents from the 'old' fixture to the new fixture. Change the old
fixture's DMX address. Copy the contents from the new fixture to the old fixture and then remove the
new fixture.
The copy function may also be used to build an entire library of sequences for various fixture
configurations. Build a sequence library by programming sequences for one of each (or more) of the
relevant fixture types. In the actual installation, copy sequence and preset data to each of the fixtures
configured for the rental job. Although all the fixtures will contain the exact same data as their
respective source fixture it may give a quicker starting point for the end-users than starting from
scratch.
Clear fixture data
The clear data dialog will be shown automatically to clear data for new configured fixtures (unless it
has been disabled in the preferences menu in the fixture configuration dialog)
Clear data prompt
When configuring a new fixture and re-using a DMX address range that has been used by a previously
configured fixture, sequences and presets and other programming elements will contain data that will
most likely appear as garbage for the newly configured fixture. To clear all sequences, presets, and
other programmable data so that the new fixture receives default data only, activate Clear Fixture
Data.
To manually clear one or more fixtures, select the fixture from list of configured fixtures. Right-click
the line and select Clear Fixture Data from the popup menu. Note that it is not possible to select
this option for a newly configured fixture before a valid DMX address has been assigned to the fixture
and the configuration has been saved. It is possible to clear data for multiple fixtures by selecting all
the relevant fixtures before right-clicking.
