This revolutionary, graphic Tablet interface, provides :

14.2 An overview of the Tablet
The Tablet is divided into several sections. See Appendix 3. Diagram of the
Graphics Tablet.
14.2.1 The Stage Area
On this you can draw physical features of the stage.
You have Instant Access to Pan and Tilt functions in this area. If the desk
has been Trained, when you click on a point in this area with the stylus, the
Selected Fixtures will immediately move to that point.
Since this area is a true and scale representation of the real stage once a few
reference points have been marked it is easy to move Fixtures to any desired
position.
You can move the Fixtures around the Stage area by dragging the Stylus.
14.2.2 The Colour Control Area
This offers Instant Access to Colour Attributes. It allows you to experiment
with colours on Fixtures with Colour Mix Attributes in a way that has not been
possible before.
You only have to drag the stylus about within the Colour Control area to find
the exact colour you require. Experimenting with colours is great fun!
14.2.3 The Select buttons
These allow selection of Fixtures, Groups, Preset Focuses and individual
Fixture Attributes.
The Attribute Select buttons are pre-programmed and defined in the
Personality File. They are used to control the Attributes of a Fixture.
The Group Select buttons select the same Groups that can be accessed
from the desk, and can be programmed from the desk or the Graphics
Tablet.
The Focus Select buttons are the same as the Preset Focus buttons on the
desk, and can be programmed or recalled from either the desk or the
Graphics Tablet.
The Fixture Select buttons select the same Fixtures as the SWOP buttons
on the desk. Fixture Select button 1 selects the Fixture on Handle 1, etc.
These are set when the Fixture is patched.
It may be useful to mark up the paper insert with what is on each button.
Additional inserts can be ordered from Avolites (Part number 11-03-0076.
Got that?!).
14.2.4 The Fader
This allows absolute setting of any Attribute, and has Instant Access to the
Dimmer channel on any Fixture.
