The order in which you selected Fixtures is recorded in the group. This is the
sequence that will be replayed when using NEXT FIXTURE on the Graphics
Tablet, and also determines the Fixture which is copied when Aligning
Fixtures or Attributes. (See Section 4.5.2 Fixtures. and 4.5.3 Align Attributes.)
You can also record and replay groups from the Graphics Tablet. See
Chapter 14 The Graphics Tablet for more details.
9.4 Using a Group
Groups are very useful since they make selecting a number of instruments
fast and consistent.
To recall a Group :
• Type in the Group number on the Keypad.
As soon as the first numeric button is
pressed the menu will change
.
Only one Group can be selected at a time, as selecting a second group
deselects the first. A Group and additional Fixtures can be selected.
You can also use the Graphics Tablet to recall groups. See Chapter 14 The
Graphics Tablet for more details.
9.5 Reduction Faders
Reduction Faders allow you to temporarily limit the output of an Intensity
Channel. This is useful for turning off a wayward Intelligent Fixture or limiting
the flare caused to a camera by a particular device.
Every time an Intensity Fader is patched onto Preset Bank 1, a Reduction
Fader is automatically patched onto Preset Bank 12. It is possible to patch
them elsewhere. See Section 5.20.1 Patching a Reduction Fader.
To use a Reduction Fader :
• Put the Channel you want Reduced up at FULL.
• Go to the Preset Bank on which the Reduction Fader has been patched.
• Match the output level with the Intensity Channel by bringing the
Reduction Fader to Full also
. If it is already at Full, bring it down to zero, the back

.
• Bring the Reduction Fader down to limit the output to the desired level.
