MENU AND SETUP FUNCTIONS
PAN FINE
is for fixtures that use two channels to control pan. This is also referred to
sometimes as the pan “low byte” channel. Set this to “none” if the fixture uses only one channel
for pan. The joystick will control this channel with “fine” mode turned on.
TILT CHANNEL is the same as described above for pan channel except that it controls tilt.
TILT FINE
is the same as described above for pan fine except that it controls tilt.
FADE MODE
is used to set the crossfade method for each of the fixture’s channels. Use data
wheel #2 to select the channel. Once the channel is selected use data wheel #3 to select the
crossfade mode. The choices are “crossfade”, “snap before fade” and “snap after fade”. You
must press “enter” after each channel has been programmed.
Selecting “Crossfade” will cause a channel to smoothly fade from one scene to another when
changing scenes. The crossfade time will vary from scene to scene depending on how that
scene was programmed. Use this setting for channels that control functions like pan and tilt or
dimming to achieve a smooth transition from scene to scene. This is usually the default setting
for pan, tilt and dimmer channels. If you use this setting for gobo or color wheel channels, it
will cause the wheels to step through all positions between the start and end positions of a
long fade.
Selecting “Snap before fade” will cause the channel to jump immediately to the next scene level
as soon as the new scene is called. Use this setting for channels that control motor speed so
that pan and tilt will move at the correct speed during the fade. You can also use this setting for
wheel channels that you want to change at the start of a long crossfade. This is usually the
default setting for speed and mode channels.
Selecting “Snap after fade” will cause the channel to jump immediately to the next scene level
at the end of a crossfade. Use this setting for wheels and effects that you want to take effect
after a long crossfade is complete. This is usually the default setting for color and effects
wheels.
COPY FIXTURE
Use this to copy the fixture type and attributes from one fixture number to another. This feature
saves time when setting up a group of fixtures that are all the same type by letting you copy a
fixture rather than searching through the list each time. data wheels #1 and #2 to select a fixture
number to copy from and to. You must press “enter” to complete the copy process. If auto
patch is enabled you will be given the warning that some addresses may change. Press “yes” to
continue or “no” to exit with no changes. If a fixture is already set up at the “copy to” location,
you will be asked if you want to copy over the existing fixture, press “yes” to copy over it or
“no” to exit.
