The Calculator
Now press the leftmost encoder. This will open . It could look like this:
This also allows you to type a value on the screen. But you can also use some predefined values. On the picture
above there are four buttons: Open , 75% , 50% and 25% .
'Open' is the same as 100% (full open). Pressing one of the four options will close the calculator and put the
selected fixtures at that value.
Align
Until now we have used the keys to spread out values over more than one fixture. But this is actually a function we
call Align. You find out in later chapters that the Align function can be used on almost anything. But for now we only
have dimmer. So try to select fixtures 1 thru 10 (in that order) and then give then all 50%. Please press the
Dimmer button in the preset type bar so we have the dimmer control on the left encoder. Now press the Align
key once. Now a small information pop-up tells you that you are now in the "Align <" mode. There are five different
modes and we are now going to explore them a little bit. It's important that you keep the same selection order in all
the examples below. With this first mode activated try to turn the dimmer encoder down, notice how the value stays
at 50% for fixture number 1 but is spread out evenly to fixture number 10. It could look like this:
