Stepping through fixtures using Previous & Next Fixture
Sometimes it is desirable to step through the fixtures one by one at a time, especially when used in
combination with the “Highlight” function to be able to quickly and easily focus many lights in series.
This may be accomplished using the
[Prev]
or
[Next]
keys found on the console frontpanel.
Each press on one of the keys will sub-select a single fixture including all of its instances from within the
current selection.
Repeatedly pressing
[Prev]
or
[Next]
steps backwards or forwards through the current selection, with
the order determined by the selection order.
[Prev] [+] [Next]
will bring you back to your original selection.
Holding the
[Infinity]
Key while pressing
[Prev]
or
[Next]
will step through individual instances.
Selecting X out of Y.
The console offers a built in modulo sub-selection function which will select every Xth fixture out of Y.
The syntax is quite easy: We use
[/]
for the “out of” part of the command.
In the following example, we are going to select every first fixture out of three:
●
Select fixtures 1 to 12
●
Type
[1] [/] [3] [Enter]
on the keypad.
●
To select every second fixture out of three, type
[2] [/] [3] [Enter]
●
To select every third fixture out of three, type
[3] [/] [3] [Enter]
Please note you may also combine the modulo function with more advanced functions:
●
Select fixtures 1 to 12
●
Type
[1] [+] [2] [/] [3] [Enter]
on the keypad. This translates into “Select each first and
second fixture out of three”.
Or:
●
Select fixtures 1 to 12
●
Typing
[1] [thru] [3] [+] [5] [/] [5] [Enter]
on the keypad translates into “Select each
first through third and fifth fixture out of five fixtures”.
Using the
[Prev]
or
[Next]
keys will advance through the current modulo subselection.
