Key into the form on the Titan Simulator webpage).
Once licensed Titan Simulator will run in 'Offline' mode which is shown towards the top
right of the screen. In Offline mode the software will function as normal including
Visualiser and Art-Net outputs. However periodically random DMX values will be sent
down all DMX outputs as a "spoiler", please wait for this to stop before continuing
programming.

RUNNING TITAN SIMULATOR
When you start the simulator you need to select which console you are simulating. The
simulator will then open a Virtual Panel, which replicates the physical controls of your
chosen console, and monitor windows for each of the monitor outputs.
The Virtual Panel works exactly the same as the real panel; to hold a button down so
you can press a second button, right click it using the mouse.
3.6.3
USING VIRTUAL PANEL WITH A CONSOLE
As well as its use with the simulator, you can also run the Virtual Panel on a console.
This could be handy to keep things going if you are suffering hardware problems with
the real console controls.
To show the Virtual Panel, click the Tools menu on the toolbar, then select Other
Programs, then Virtual Panel. The Virtual Panel controls will work in parallel with the real
controls.

SHOW LIBRARY
The Show Library window collects all the information about your show into a single
place. It is very useful to transfer programming when importing parts of previous shows,
or when moving shows to a Titan consoles with fewer faders, but can also be used to
move items around within your show.
Press <View/Open> then [Open Workspace Window], [Show Library] to open the
window (or if in the root menu just [Open Workspace Window], [Show Library]).

SHOW LIBRARY TAB
The Show Library lists all programmed elements of your show including fixture patch,
fixture groups, palettes, playbacks, macros and workspaces. Use the buttons down the
left hand side to filter what types of information are displayed.

The touch screen display is shown separately from the Virtual Panel. It
is helpful to have two monitors to allow you to see the touch screen
and the Virtual Panel at the same time.
