Reports
The Illusion desk can generate a
number of different reports relating to
channel usage, desk setup, memory
and submaster data.
These reports can be viewed on the
monitor screen, printed out or saved to
a file on floppy disk. A summary of the
different types of report available is
given below.
Unused Channels
This report comes in two sections and
lists the unused HTP (brightness) and
LTP (attribute and scroller) channels.
An unused HTP channel is a channel
which is programmed at zero or left at
zero in all memories throughout the
show.
An unused LTP channel is a channel
which does not change throughout the
show (eg a scroller may be set to a
value in the first memory and then not
change in the rest of the show).
Channel Usage by Memory
This report lists the channels used in
each programmed memory in the
show.
A channel is used if it is programmed
at a non-zero value in a memory.
There is an option to include or
exclude LTP channels.
Channel Incidence
This report lists the control channels
and the number of memories
(instances) in which they are used (ie.
programmed at a non-zero value in a
memory).
There are options to include or exclude
LTP channels, sort by channel number
or channel usage, and include or
exclude unused channels (ie. those
whose instances = 0).
Desk Setup
This report displays data on the current
Desk Setup. The report is divided into
the following sections: Desk Defaults,
Channel Setup, Auxiliary Setup,
Groups, Remote Switches and
Tracking. Each section may be
included or excluded from the report.
Memories
This report displays information on
each of the programmed memories
(number, type, information etc.). There
is an option to include or exclude the
channel data for the memories.
Submasters
This report displays information on
each of the programmed submasters
(number, information, fade times etc.).
There is an option to include or
exclude the channel data for those
submasters loaded with channel data.
