Infinity Chimp Series
Single Range
A range which indicates a certain function on a channel.
Fig. 215: Range Editor - Add Range – Single Range
The range displayed in the screenshot is taken from a fixtures gobo channel. It indicates that Gobo 1 idx
function starts at a dmx value of 9 and ends at a value of 17.
Besides the name, it also has an icon set for representation in the fixture item and the programmer table.
The name and icon are also used for the Auto-generate Presets function.
Proportional Range
A range which indicates a certain function that has a range of values (such as pan tilt) on a channel.
.
Fig. 216: Range Editor - Add Range – Proportional Range
In the screenshot above (taken from a Pan channel), we can see that this range spans across dmx value
0 to dmx value 255 (the whole channel) and the name of the Range is Tilt. It does not have an icon set.
On the right side of the screenshot minimum and maximum display value, prefix and suffix text field are
shown.
The
Min Display Value
and
Max Display Value
equal the read-out in the programmer or output table for
the Min and Max DMX Value respectively. When the channel is at value 0, the readout will be -135, when
the channel is at 255 (100%), then the readout will be 135. Any other values in between would be
calculated accordingly.
The
Prefix
is shown before the actual value, the
Suffix
is shown after the value. For example in a strobe
channel the prefix could indicate the type of strobe (usually SYNC or RND) whereas the suffix indicates
“Hz” for the frequency.
Mixing Single and Proportional Ranges on one channel
It is absolutely possible and can be very helpful to combine these different range types when building a
fixture library.
