ETC Ion Xe Operating Manual page 87

Each encoder's area will display the name of the parameter it controls, display stepped limits (if any)
and also a {Home} button which allows you to set that parameter to its default position.
The encoder controls display allows you to cycle through parameter steps (if available). You can also
home any parameter. Some buttons that may be available are:
Min
Max
Next
Last
Mode
Expand
Buttons like {Next} and {Last} are used to step through ranges (such as colors in a color scroller) one
step at a time. {Min} and {Max} allow you to send a parameter to its minimum or maximum limit with
one press.
Modes allows you to switch between modes of a parameter (if any exist); for example, a rotating
gobo wheel. If additional modes are available, their softkeys will display at the top of the encoder con-
trols display.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Press {Expand} to see all of the information about any device with a frame table. Press again to col-
lapse to the normal view. You may make selections from the Expand screen. The colors/images in the
device are established in patch (see
Mini Encoder Display
On Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion Xe, or ETCnomad using a Programming Wing, information on what the
encoders are currently controlling can always be found in the mini encoder status display, even
when the
softkeys in the CIA.
Use the Parameter Category hardkeys to choose which parameters are currently available on the
encoders.
Some fixtures have more parameters than can be displayed on one encoder page. The number of.
pages for each category is displayed at the bottom of the Parameter Category softkey. To view the
other pages, simply press the button to advance the pages or hold the button and press a number
key to go directly to the page you want to access.
Encoder Navigation
Use the encoder page buttons (located to the left of the encoder LCD) to choose which parameters
are currently available on the encoders. There are five usable buttons: Color, Custom, Shutter,
Image, and Form. Pressing any of these will change the parameters controlled.
