Dimmer Section
The Dimmer section of the Program Window is displayed as a table ‘docked’ at the top of
the Program Window and shows the channel number, it’s output value and tag status. The
colour coding for this section is as follows:
The Dimmer Numbers are always
displayed and are black text on yellow background
when selected and cyan text on a black background when not selected.
The Dimmer Values are displayed in red text if tagged, white text if untagged, and not
displayed at all if they are not in the Program Window.
Fixtures Section
The Fixtures section of the Program Window is displayed below the Dimmer section. The
fixtures and their parameter values are shown as a table. The currently selected fixtures
are highlighted in yellow. Fixture parameters which are tagged have a green background.
Parameter Values
Parameter values may be displayed in %, DMX or detail names as follows:
Select the [Percent] soft button (this is also found on Special Page 1). A drop down menu
is displayed with the following options:
• Percent – When this option is selected all the fixture parameter values are displayed
as percentages (ie 0 – 100% for both 8 bit and 16 bit parameters).
• DMX - When this option is selected all the fixture parameter values are displayed as
DMX values (ie 0 - 255 for 8 bit parameters or 0 - 65535 for 16 bit parameters).
• Details (%) – When this option is selected the fixture parameter values will be
displayed as the parameter detail names (eg Red, Gobo 1) where they are defined in
the fixture data. If parameter details are not defined, the window will show the actual
numerical values in %.
• Details (DMX) – When this option is selected the fixture parameter values will be
displayed as the parameter detail names (eg Red, Gobo 1) where they are defined in
the fixture data. If parameter details are not defined, the window will show the actual
numerical values in DMX (0-255 or 0 – 65535).
Selecting Fixtures
Before fixtures can be controlled by the desk they need to be selected. Press the
FIXTURES key. The MFKs become fixture selection buttons and the LCDs above the keys
indivate what fixture has been assigned to which MFK. Press the MFK to select the fixture;
press it again to deselect the fixture.
As each fixture is selected it appears in the Program Window. It is also possible to select
Dimmers, if the Preset [Flash Mode] is set to Off/Select.
