[Preset] [1] [Thru] [5] [Enter] {Iris} [5] [0] {Replace With} [2] [5] [Enter] - for presets 1
through 5, this command will replace any iris parameter values of 50 with values of 25.
Range editing using {Replace With} is easiest done in spreadsheet view, but can be done
in any Blind mode.
Using By Type Presets
Storing a By Type Preset
If {By Type} is used when recording, the lowest number channel of each fixture type will be the
default channel. Generally, when storing by type presets, you will want only one channel of
each fixture type in use. Any additional channels in that fixture type will be recorded with
discrete data.
•
[1] [Thru] [6] [Record] [Preset] [1] {By Type} [Enter] - Channels 1 through 6 are saved to
Preset 1. Channels 1 through 6 are of the same fixture type. Channel 1 will be the
default channel, and channels 2 through 6 will be saved with discrete data.
•
[1] [Thru] [6] [Record] [Preset] [1] [Enter] - If a by type preset is rerecorded without
using the {By Type} softkey and the default channel is included in the record, the default
channel's level will change and all other changes will be discrete.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] {Preset 1} {Discrete} [Enter] - If a default channel is included in a
record where {Discrete} is used and another channel is tracking it, the default channel
will be changed to having discrete data and the lowest numbered tracking channel will
become the new default channel. All other channels in the record will also have discrete
data.
Editing By Type Presets in Blind
In Blind, the default channel’s levels will display in blue, discrete data for the other channels
will display in white, and any channels that are using the default channel value will display in
magenta.
Softkeys available for editing presets in blind are {By Type}, {Discrete}, and {Cleanup}.
•
[3] {By Type} [Enter] - makes channel 3 the new default channel for that device type. If
another channel for that type was the default channel, its data will now be discrete.
•
[1] [0] [Thru] [2] [0] {Discrete} [Enter] - changes the levels for channels 10 through 20 to
discrete. If any of those channels are default, the lowest numbered tracking channel will
become the new default channel.
•
[5] [Thru] [8] [At] [Enter] - removes the discrete data for channels 5 through 8. They will
now use the default channel’s values.
•
[Preset] [2] {Discrete} [Enter] - changes all tracking and default channels to discrete.
•
[Preset] [5] {By Type} [Enter] - makes the first channel of each device type a default
channel.
•
[Preset] [3] {Cleanup} [Enter] - converts presets created in earlier versions of Eos Family
software to by type presets. This command will use the first channel of each type as the
default, and allow other channels of the same type to use that value upon recall.
