Highlight Function
The Highlight function provides a quick method of locating a fixture (or
fixtures) and allows you to adjust the position (pan and tilt parameters) without
tagging any of the other parameters. This can be particularly useful when
creating position palettes (see later).
To highlight the selected fixture(s) – Hold down the SHIFT key and press the
HOME key. The output values of all the parameters of the selected fixture(s)
except for Pan and Tilt are set to the home values (as defined in the Edit
Fixtures table in Setup).
While a fixture is highlighted only the pan, tilt and movement effect
parameters can be edited.
To un-highlight the selected fixture(s) - Hold down the SHIFT key and press
the HOME key. The non-position parameters (intensity, colour, gobo etc.)
return to their previous output values. If another fixture is selected, this fixture
will be highlighted instead.
Wheel Editing Modes
The desk provides a number of wheel editing modes which are user
selectable and apply when editing several fixtures at the same time.
For each attribute there is a normal and a shifted wheel mode.
The normal wheel mode is applied when the control wheel is moved. The
shifted wheel mode is applied when the SHIFT key is held down and the
control wheel is moved.
The default wheel editing modes, a description of each mode and how to
change the wheel editing modes are described in the following sections.
Default Wheel Editing Modes
Each attribute has its own default wheel editing modes as defined in the table
below:
