About Groups
Groups are channel selection devices used for fast recall of specific channels. A maximum of 1000
groups can be recorded. Once recorded, they are accessible from the keypad, direct selects, and
through the displays.
Recording Groups Live
Record groups of channels that you want to have available for fast recall later. Groups can be stored
as whole numbers (such as Group 5) or as decimals of tenths, hundredths, or thousandths (such as
Group 2.5, Group 7.65, Group 3.131). Only whole number groups can be stored using the direct
selects; any decimal designations for groups must be stored using the keypad.
All groups may be labeled. These labels are then displayed on the direct selects as well as in the group
list. Group numbers will not display in either until the groups have been created.
The following syntax examples illustrate the various methods and features available when recording
groups:
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] [Group] [7] [Enter] - records only channels 1 through 5 to group 7.
[4] [Thru] [8] [.] [Record] [Group] [2] [Enter] - records only the cells of the selected multicell fix-
tures, channel 4 through 8, to group 2.
[Record] [Group] [7] [Enter] - records all channels with non-home values to group 7.
[5] [Thru] [9] [Record} {Group 7} - records channels 5 through 9 to group 7 using the direct
selects.
[3] [Thru] [8] [Record] [Group] [8] [.] [5] [2] [Enter] - records channels 3 through 8 to group
8.52.
[-] [3] [Record] [Group] [7] [Enter] - records all channels, except channel "3," to group 7.
[Group] [7] [+] [5] [Record] [Group] [9] [Enter] - records groups 7 and 5 into group 9.
[Group] [8] [Group] [9] [Record] [Group] [1] [0] [Enter] - records groups 8 and 9 into group 10.
[Record] [Group] [7] [Label] [name] [Enter] - records as above and adds a label to the group.
[Record Only] [Group] [7] [Enter] - records channels with manual data to group 7.
[Record Only] {Group 7} - records channels with manual data to group 7 using the direct
select.
Ordered Channels
When recording groups, channels are ordered in the group based on their selection order when the
group is stored. This ordering is useful when combined with [Next] and [Last] functions, and when
applying effects to groups.
For Example:
If you record a group by selecting channels in the following order:
Later you select Group 1 and press [Next], the channels will be accessed, one at a time, in
the same order in which they were initially selected.
