change with the fixture page.
• If a preset is active (the fader is raised) when you change page,
you may want to control a fixture on the new page using the same
preset. In this situation you have to match the fader level to the
existing fixture level before the fader will take control. For
example if preset 1 is on at 100%, you change to page 2 and want
to control the fixture on preset 1 on page 2. If the page 2 fixture
is currently Off, you will have to lower the fader to zero before it
takes control. If the page 2 fixture is at 50%, the fader will take
control when it matches the 50% value.
3.1.2 Setting fixtures to a start position
The Locate button (the red button on the bottom right of the console)
is used to put the fixture into a known position with light coming out, so
that you can start programming it.
A quick press of the button will move all selected fixtures to a central
position and reset all the attributes so that you get a white light.
However you sometimes might not want to move the fixture, and by
holding down the Locate button, you get some more options.
• You can mask off some of the Locate settings (such as only
turning the fixture on, but not changing its position or colour) by
holding down Locate and pressing B [Set Mask to Exclude All].
Then (still holding Locate) turn on the Attributes you want to
change using the Attribute Bank buttons down the right hand side.
Only the lit attributes will be changed by Locate. Pressing the
Attribute Options (Bank Select) button will clear the mask.
• Option D [Auto Reset Mask] sets the mask to be automatically
reset to include everything each time Locate is pressed, or you can
toggle the option to [Remember Mask] which will keep the mask
setting you used last time.
• Option E [Clear/Don’t Clear Located Attributes] sets whether the
attributes changed by the Locate function will be saved into any
cues you store. If the option is set to “Clear” then the Located
attributes will not be stored in the Programmer unless you modify
them using the wheels. This is useful if for example you want to
program a cue which sets the position of fixtures, but does not
turn them on. The Locate button will light up the fixtures for
programming, but the lit state will not be stored in any cues you
save.
3.1.3 Clearing selection
The Clear button (on the right of the numeric keypad) is used to
remove all changes from the Programmer and deselect all fixtures. A
quick press of the Clear button just clears everything, however if you
hold down the Clear button, then more options are available.
• You can mask which attributes are to be cleared (for example,
leaving the pan/tilt in the programmer but clearing everything
else) by holding down Clear and pressing B [Set Mask to Clear
Nothing]. Then (still holding Clear) turn on the Attributes you want
to change using the Attribute Bank buttons down the right hand
side, or press A [Set Mask] and use the softkeys. Only the lit
attributes will be cleared. Pressing the Attribute Options (Bank
Select) button will clear the mask.
