Advanced Attribute Control
Each CONTROL attribute offers an Advanced tool. These tools –
Light – provide a way to place lights or their individual attributes outside of
normal programming flow, to remove specific changes made to a light or even to
remove the light from the current cue.

Desk Lock:
When an attribute is Desk Locked, that attribute’s values are frozen or
‘parked’. Pressing the Release button will deselect the light, but the
attribute will remain at the frozen level, and
or the letters “DL” will
appear at the bottom of the light’s cell in the SELECT grid. Although the
frozen values are not included in any cues or memories subsequently
recorded, if a new value is set for the light's attribute then that value will be
included.
For example, if the theater’s house lights are Desk Locked at 60%, then
released, those lights will remain at 60% and the 60% level will not be
recorded in subsequent cues. In the SELECT grid, the house lights will be
shown as deselected, with zero intensity. The bottom of the light’s cell will
show the padlock icon or “DL”. If those lights (while locked) are captured
and set to a level of 40%, that 40% value will be included in any record
operation.
