Using the Wheel
When a group has been added into the
CDW as described in the previous
section, the channels programmed in
the group are shown as selected in the
CDW.
The wheel can then be used to adjust
the levels of the selected channels,
either incrementally, or proportionally,
depending on the current editing mode,
indicated by the soft button in the
CDW header.
Selecting Group Channels
It is also possible to select the
channels programmed into a group
without using their programmed levels
as follows:
Enter the programmed group number
in the command line, then move the
control wheel, for example:
GROUP 1 <wheel>
The channels in group 1 are selected,
and moving the wheel adjusts their
levels incrementally, or proportionally,
depending on the current mode
indicated in the CDW header.
Previewing Groups
This function is only available from the
CDW and displays which groups are
currently programmed on the desk.
1. Ensure that the command line in
the CDW is clear.
2. Press the PREVIEW button,
followed by the GROUP button on
the front panel. A popup window
is displayed showing the number
and information text for each of
the programmed groups in the
desk.
3. Press ENTER or click on the OK
button in the window to close the
popup and return to the CDW.
Viewing Group Data
The selected channels and their
corresponding levels in a programmed
group can be viewed by generating the
Desk Setup Report - see the Reports
section in chapter 3 for details.
NOTES
Recording Group Data
When editing channel data live - the output
levels of the selected channels are saved into
the group. When editing channel data blind -
the programmed levels of the selected
channels are saved into the group.
Entering the Group Number followed by
Enter in the Save As Window effectively
selects the OK button. Therefore the
command SAVE AS GROUP <n> ENTER will
save the selected channels and their current
values into group n.
Selected Channels and Group Channels
The desk makes a distinction between
channels manually selected (via keypad,
keyboard or mouse) and those selected
automatically as part of a group. This
determines whether a channel is set to an
absolute value or to a proportion of its
programmed group value.
If a command line contains both channel and
group selections, then the designation of the
selected channels is determined by the order
of the commands, with the latest taking
precedence.
Example: Group 1 is programmed with
channels 6-10 at 80% and the following
command is entered:
CHANNEL 1 THRU 10 AND GROUP 1 @
50 ENTER
Channels 1-5 will be set to 50%, channels
6-10 to 40% (ie. 50% of their group
programmed value).
