Note:
The multicell fixture views can be used in combination with other flexichannel
states.
Note:
You can use [Flexi] & [.] to quickly toggle cells on and off.
In flexi, selected channels (including the last channel selection) are always included in the
view. Gaps in channel numbers are indicated by a vertical line between the channels where a
gap in numbering occurs.
To change flexi states in the Live/Blind display, press [Flexi] to cycle through the views listed
above. When [Flexi] is held down, the softkeys change to represent all of the available flexi
states and modes. You can select the desired flexi view from those keys.
[Next/Last] can be used to select the next or last channel in the current flexi state.
[Thru] can be used to view only channels in the current flexi state (except for selected
channels) as long as either the first or last channel in the [Thru] range is included in the current
flexi state. To include channels not in the current flexi state, [Thru] [Thru] can be used.
View Channels
You may select specific channels to appear in another flexichannel state called “View
Channels”. This state does not exist until you select channels to view. After view channels is
activated, it will appear in the rotation of flexichannel states when [Flexi] is pressed.
To select channels to view:
1. Select channels on the command line (do not press [Enter]).
2. Press and hold [Flexi].
3. Press {View Chans}. The “View Channels” flexi state will be created and the channels
you selected will be visible in it.
The channels you selected will be visible in this flexi state until you select other channels and
press {View Chans} again. At any time, you can access the last channels you defined for this
state by pressing [Flexi] until this state is visible.
To redefine the selected channels in the state, simply follow the steps above again.
Flexichannel with Timing
You may also engage the “channels with timing” flexichannel state by pressing [Flexi] &
[Time]. This will display all channels that have discrete timing in the current cue and will
remove channels without discrete timing from view.
The display will remain in this state until you disengage it by pressing [Flexi] again.

Blind display.
