Auto Patch
MagicQ supports the WYSIWYG Auto Patch protocol. Selecting Auto Patch on WYSIWYG transfers the patch to MagicQ. To
transfer a new show to MagicQ first erase the show in MagicQ and then select Auto Patch, Send Patch in WYSIWYG.
MagicQ identifies the fixtures in WYSIWYG and maps the names to the MagicQ fixtures using a mapping table. If MagicQ can
not identify a fixture it will not be able to auto patch a fixture. The mapping between MagicQ personality and WYSIWYG fixture
is specified in the MagicQ personality. Not all the different fixture modes are supported by both WYSIWYG and MagicQ.
When performing an Auto Patch, MagicQ will report any fixtures that it can not match. To fix a personality, edit the head in the
Head Editor, setting the correct WYSIWYG name. If the WYSIWYG name is empty then pressing ENTER will fill in with the
name received from WYSIWYG for the last mismatch.
40.3.4
Auto Focus
MagicQ supports the WYSIWYG Auto Focus protocol. If you turn Auto Focus on for the ChamSys port in the Device Manager
on WYSIWYG then changes made in WYSIWYG design mode will be relayed to the programmer in the console.
