NEO NOTES & TIPS: When fixture attributes are used in the command line the value entered is a real world value
that is logical to the attribute selected. The gobo command for example will take a number corresponding to the gobo
index you want to select. Another example is the zoom attribute that take beam angle (degrees) as its value. To
address the dmx values enter the word "dmx" after the @.
VALUE
The value you want to set the fixture or fixture attribute to. If standard dimmers are selected, the value will set the
dimmer to the entered value as a percentage of full. Accepted values for standard dimmers can be any integer number
between 0 and 100.
If the selected channel is an intelligent fixture then the software will apply the value to the dimmer property unless a
different attribute is specified.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: 1+2+3+7+19/33 @ 25 - This will set channels 1, 2, 3, 7 and channels 19 through 33 to 25%
of full.
PALETTES & GROUPS
When using the command line interface to set channels you can reference groups on both sides of the "@" symbol.
You can also reference palettes on the right hand side of the "@" symbol. This can be thought of this as being able to
set a group at a palettes or values referenced by a group.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: LX Bridge 2 @ 25 - This will set channels in group "LX Bridge 2" to 25%
NEO NOTES & TIPS: LX3 Wash @ Position Down Stage Left - This will set the channels in group "LX3 Wash" to
the values set in the group/palette "Position Down Stage Left".
As soon as you start typing the name of the palettes or group on either side of the "@" symbol a small window will
appear suggesting matches to what has already been typed. This is designed to help with selecting groups and palettes
without having to type all of the text. To select an item listed in the helper window use the up and down arrows to
move between the values and then press the enter key to select.
DMX
The DMX keyword can be placed in front of the desired value to enter a number between 0 and 255 representing the
real DMX output level.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: 1+2+3+7+19/33 @ DMX 125 - This will set channels 1, 2, 3, 7 and channels 19 through 33
to output 125 on the DMX line.
REM DIM
The Rem Dim keyword can be used to set channel to a value exclusively. Channels not in the selection list will be
turned off or blacked out
1+2+3+7+19/33 @ rem dim 30
This will set channels 1, 2, 3, 7 and channels 19 through 33 to 30% and turn off all other channels.
TIME {FADE} VALUE
With any command an optional fade time can be specified. This will determine how long the channels will take to get
from the current value to the new desired value. You can use the keyword "fade" or "time" with this directive. The
fade/time directive will also be apply to fixture attributes.
The syntax is in the format; fade X - where X is any real number representing the time in seconds. The keyword can
also be shortened to just the letter "f" followed by the time in seconds that you want to fade.
