If you make a typo or maybe hit a wrong key, you can use the
the whole thing (not the console as such, but just what you started typing) you can press
command you are typing.
When you are ready to move on you should press the
Notice that this removes the value (if you had any) and the frame around fixture 1 turned gray again. What does this
mean? If you guess that it's no longer selected and back at 0%, then you are right!
It's very easy to select the fixtures on the screens. You can even move your finger around to select a bigger group of
fixtures. When you tap a fixture in the Fixtures view, then it toggles the selected status of the fixture.
You can tap single fixtures to deselect them or press
selection.
We are now going to use the keys to select the fixtures. Press the following:
Clear Clear
Fixture 1 Thru 1 0 Please
At 4 0 Please
That should select the first ten fixtures and put them all to 40%. We did more typing than we actually needed. Often
this operation can be done faster. Press the
1 Thru 1 0 At 4 0 Please
This gives you the same result. The long way is the more correct command and what the console is actually doing,
but you can often do with the short version. If for some reason the short version doesn't always work for you, then you
should try the longer and more correct commands before you start throwing things around the room.
We don't need to give all the fixtures the same value - we could spread it out. Without pressing clear do this:
1 0 Thru 1 0 0 Please
This will fan out the values from 10% to 100%. Please have a look at the Fixtures view. If you haven't already you
might want to look at the little dimmer bar on the left side of each rectangle. This is also an indication of the value.
You can actually even spread it out over three (or even more) values:
Please .
Selection matters
As you have seen above, you are allowed to select fixture using ranges. And you can also use
or add fixtures to you selection. Try to do this:
Fixture 1 Thru 5 - 2 + 7 Please
But the selection order is also important. Press
1 Thru 1 2 At 1 0 Thru 1 0 0 Please
10% and fixture 12 at 100%. But let's try something else. Press
