If you have selected more than one fixture and then say PREVIOUS, only the last
fixture of the selection actually stays selected. The others become “temporarily
deselected”. The next time you say PREVIOUS, only the 2

last fixture within the
current selection is actually selected and so on. The ALL command will clear this
subselection.

If no device is selected, PREVIOUS will bring the fixture having the lowest ID into the
selection; on the next PREVIOUS, the fixture with the next lower ID will be selected. With

The default executor can be identified by its green title in the executor mini displays.
The default executor is reacting to the DEF_GO,DEF_GO- and DEF_PAUSE commands
and to their physical counterpart, the three big yellow buttons.
During programming it can be very convenient to make the executor you are working
on the default one. Many commands assume to work with the default executor if no
other executor is given.
