User Definable Faders (UDF)
The desk provides 100 pages of 10 User Definable Faders, with associated ‘flash’ buttons.
The user definable faders may be assigned to Groups, Palettes, Cues, fixture parameters
or channel data. They can also be assigned to special Time, Override or Virtual Playback
Master functions.
UDF / UDK Window
To display the User Defined Faders/Keys Window on the monitor hold down the SHIFT
key and press one of the User Definable Fader flash keys.
The User Defined Faders/Keys Window shows information on the current page of User
Definable Faders and Keys as shown by the PAGE DISPLAY on the front panel.
Each of the User Definable Faders has a button in the UDF window. Each of these buttons
shows the UDF number, the item assigned to the fader and other associated data
depending on what is actually assigned to the UDF.
User Definable Faders Setup Window
To display the UDF Setup Window on the touch screen, hold down the SETUP key and
then press one of the User Definable Fader flash buttons. This window allows the user to
set the various parameters for the individual UDF.
Assigning User Definable Faders
In this quick start guide we will just consider recording channel data to a UDF. For details
of the other items that can be assigned to UDF’s see the UDF chapter in this manual.
Recording channel data to a UDF is simple – first set up the fixture outputs as required,
ensuring that the correct parameters are tagged and then enter the following command:
RECORD <UDF> (<UDF> = press the FLASH button for the required UDF).
Outputting User Definable Faders
The data assigned to a UDF can be output either by raising the fader to full, or by pressing
the FLASH button associated with the fader.
The action of the FLASH button can be set to either Flash or Latch in the User Definable
Faders Setup Window – see UDF section of manual for further details.
Clearing User Definable Faders
To clear a UDF (ie remove the data assigned to it), enter the following command:
DEL <UDF> (<UDF> = press the FLASH button for the required UDF).
