3.8. Getting Started Guide - Making and working with groups
Let's have a look at a way to organize our fixtures. Right now we only have 12 fixtures, but we expand it later in this
guide.
So we should have a look at a way to organize the fixtures into groups.
Groups contain a selection of fixtures - it could also just be one fixture. It doesn't have any information about values,
it's just a selection of fixtures and the selection order - remember the selection order can be important.
Let's have a look at the Group view. Press the
Group
key. This will give us an empty
Group view
on screen 1.
It has 28 squares. Each square represent one group. If you scroll the rightmost encoder, you'll see that there's a lot
more than 28 available.
Let's make a group.
Make sure you don't have anything or any selection in your programmer.
Now select all your fixtures. This is the fastest way:
Thru
Please
This actually selects all fixtures from the lowest possible ID number to the highest. Now we have a selection and we
can store this as a group:
Store
Group
1
Please
This created group number 1 with the selected fixtures and it gave it a name: "Dim".
To check it, you could open a Group view on screen 2 and clear you programmer. This should give you a Fixture
view on screen 1 and a group view on screen 2.
Try to press the Dim group. This should select all your Fixtures - if it doesn't, then you should delete it and restart
this chapter from the beginning.
Let us give the group a better name:
Label
Group
1
Please
This opens a
Enter Name
window that allows us to change the name of the group. Call it "All Dimmers".
When we store a group we are actually able to get this window immediately. As soon as you have stored the group
you can begin typing on an external keyboard to enter the name. Or when you store the group, you can press this
little balloon
Figure 1: Label balloon.
and get the Enter Name window.
