Creating a new Dimmer Patch
If you want to create a new dimmer patch, it is recommended to clear the
existing dimmer patch.
After you have write down your soft patch list, you can clear the existing
(1:1) patch.
To enter the new patch list into the dimmer entity screen, press Dim.
 Enter the dimmer number(s) (object grouping allowed) using the
main keypad.
 Press @ or enter and enter the patch level (0 –100%) of the
selected dimmer(s).
 Press @ or enter again to enter the Desk channel number to
control the selected dimmer(s).
Repeat these steps to enter the complete patch list. The list also appears
on the HUD display, to control the entered values. (see page 109)
Channel Output Limiting
As part of the patching function, it is possible to limit the maximum level
reached by the Dimmer Channel.
For example, with the limiting parameter of a Channel set to its default
level of 100 %, a control level of 100% will give a output level of 100%.
However, a limiting value of 80% applied to the same Channel will give a
maximum output level of 80%.
The limit parameter is applied proportionally, thus a control level of 50%
will give an output of 40% (if the limit is set to 80%).
This feature is particularly useful when several Dimmer Channels are
being controlled by the same Desk Channel
 To set (or view) a Channel Output Limit, call- up the Output Limit
Entity Screen by pressing the op limit button in the Main Keypad
Control Area:

 Select the required Channel number(s) using the Channel field,
then move to the Op Limit field and set the desired limit level.

button (soft function 3).
