112 Ion Classic User Manual
Targets are specific elements of your show file that can be assigned to direct select buttons.
With the exception of custom direct selects, only one target type can open in a direct select
bank.
Select a target type to open direct select buttons for that target. You can then use the direct
select buttons to select and control the chosen target.
Custom Direct Selects
Custom direct selects allow you to assign multiple target types to the same grid layout. If
{Custom} is selected on the direct selects tab, a popup will appear showing all available
custom direct select lists in your show file.
Once a custom direct select list is open, selecting an empty button will display a popup of the
Target Selection Menu (2) (on page 116) , allowing you to quickly assign a target or range of
targets.
Note:
While applying a target range will configure multiple buttons, multiple-
button-selection is only available via the custom direct selects editor in Tab 39.
For more information, see Custom Direct Selects (on page 116) .
Navigating Direct Selects
To change the direct select type displayed in a bank, press the current target name, and
choose the desired direct select target to display.
If there are more items in a direct select bank than can be viewed at once, you may view
subsequent pages by using the {Page Up} and {Page Down} arrows. The {Jump To...} button,
when enabled via the direct selects configuration menu, can be used to jump to a specific
direct select. For more information, see
Configuring Direct Selects (on page 114)
.
Direct Selects & the Command Line
With the exception of channels and groups, all targets selected via direct selects will post a
terminated command on the command line. To post an unterminated command, hold [Shift]
as you press the direct select. This allows multiple commands to be selected and executed at
once, and an optional sneak time to be entered.
Channels and groups selected via direct selects will post an unterminated command by
default.
