GROUPS
Overview
To automate channel selection, groups of channels may be stored into the Group palette. Groups can also be created
and recalled from the command-line keypad.
For example, you could store all VL2000™ spot luminaires as one group and all VL2000™ wash luminaires as another
group. These groups can be labeled in the Group palette as "VL2K Spot" and "VL2K Wash."
Guidelines:
+
When a Group is stored, channel selection
order
is retained. This is known as an "Ordered Group." This
information may be used for stepping through Next/Last sequences or deleted as required. Refer to "Ordered
Groups" on page 151 for more information.
+
When an existing Group is updated or re-stored, the new information replaces the old information. It does not add
to the existing group information.
+
Advanced group settings can be configured using the Group super palette. Refer to "Group Super Palette
(Advanced Operation)" on page 152 for more information.
Storing, Modifying, and Recalling Groups (Basic Operation)
