Aside from setting base times for cues, you can set specific times for any attribute or attribute
group of any fixture or group of fixtures. The range for these times is between 0 seconds to over
3 hours. These times override the base cue timing and are set through the programmer controls.
For our example, we’ll use cue 1 with a base time of 5 seconds but we’re gong to change the
intensity timing to zero using the following procedure:
1 Select the desired cuelist.
2 Select the fixtures who’s fade time you wish to change.
3 Select the attribute group with the desired attribute in the programmer controls LCD buttons. Use
Dim/Focus for this example.
4 Press the Fade LCD key in the Playback Command
5 Press the hard key directly below the desired attribute label in the touch screen. For this
example, use Intensity .
19
6 Press “ 0 ” on the keypad.
Once you have done this, you will see the following in the contents of the command line:.
This indicates that the selected fixtures will be set to an intensity fade time of zero.
7 Press Enter to record the change into the programmer.:
Here we can see that fixtures 51-62 have fade times of zero seconds (0 s) associated with them.
By following the column of zeros up, we can see that they are in the Intensity column. So, all the
fixtures will now “snap” on. To finish the process:
8 Press Record Cue 1 Merge Enter
19. Note that it is important to select the appropriate attribute group before pressing the “Fade” key.
Pressing the attribute group LCD key after pressing the Fade key will result in the entire attribute
group being put into the command line. This will disallow the selection of a specific attribute from
within that group.
