The Command Line
All commands (selection commands, intensity commands, wheel
movements, manual tagging etc) are recorded and displayed on the
command line, found at the bottom of the monitor.
The commands may be undone, one at a time using the backspace
key (
) on the numeric keypad. Each press of the backspace key
undoes one command until you reach the original group selection
command.
Figure 58 - Command Line
Above the Command Line on the monitor is the Suggested
Commands bar, which follows your syntax commands and shows
you the buttons which can be pressed next in your syntax. These
command buttons either exist on the front panel or syntax keys, or
are hidden shortcut commands (eg Rem Dim, which is SHIFT and
FULL)
Basic Record Commands
Once a scene is set up in the programmer as you require it, it can
be recorded to a cue using the following syntax:
RECORD CUE n ENTER
(Records cue N in the selected cue stack)
RECORD SUB n ENTER
(Records submaster N on the current page)
RECORD x/y ENTER
(Records cue Y on cue stack x)
RECORD SUB x/y ENTER
(Records submaster Y on page X)
By following this simple record logic, you can program most simple
items. The syntax also follows through for palettes and groups:
RECORD COLOUR n ENTER
(Records the colour parameters to the specified palette)
RECORD GROUP n ENTER
(Records the selected channels into a group)
RECORD <UDK>
(Records the outputting data onto a UDK)
For full details about recording and playback of each programmable
element, see the relevant pages later in the manual.
After Programming
After programming it is critical that you CLEAR the programmer
before playback. Any remaining parameters trapped into the
programmer will affect your outputs and what you see will not be as
you programmed it until such a time as you clear the programmer.
Double press the CLEAR button and then replay your cues or
submasters as required.
Clear
As soon as any changes are made to the outputs in the
programmer, the LED in the CLEAR key is lit, to indicate that fixture
parameters have been changed.
Pressing the CLEAR key once clears all the commands in the
command line except for the fixture selection.
Pressing the CLEAR key a second time clears the fixture selection
from the programmer.
It is important to clear your programmer before playing back your
show to ensure that what you have programmed is what you see on
the outputs.
