Setup Patch
The ESP II will control up to 512 dimmer channels. The Setup Patch
menu allows these dimmer channels to be patched in any combination
and at any level to the console channels.
Example:
A Patch is setup by first setting a console Channel number then setting
the Dimmer numbers to be connected to that channel. In the illustration
below Console Channel 1 is set to control Dimmer 1 at 100% (FF) and
Dimmer 10 at 100%. This means that when Channel 1 on the console is
faded up to 100% the lights connected to dimmers 1 and 10 will fade up.
The complete Patch consists of each Channel that is being used being set
to control one or more dimmer numbers. Since there are 3 different
Patchs available (1,2 & 3) its possible to set one Patch, which includes all
dimmers, for the main act and a different Patch which might not include
all dimmers for the support act. Similiarly if a light was knocked out of
focus during the show the Patch could be used to reduce the level of its
dimmer to 0 so that the light would not come on at any time.
