Editing in Spreadsheet View
Spreadsheet view shows a range of presets along the Y axis and channels/channel parameters along
the X axis. Viewing presets in spreadsheet view is useful when you want to compare data between
presets.
You may select a preset from the spreadsheet using the [Next] or [Last] keys to move through the list
or you may select the exact preset from the keypad. You may also select a range of presets to edit at
once. You can make changes to the preset(s) by selecting channels and altering parameter values.
In addition to the examples given in
ing features you have while editing in spreadsheet view:
[Preset] [1] [Thru] [5] {Move To} <Preset> [9] <Thru> [Enter] - this will move presets 1 through
5 to presets 9 through 14 respectively. You do not have to supply the end value for Ion to per-
form the move. If presets 9 through 14 already exist you will be asked to confirm this move.
[Preset] [1] [Thru] [5] [Enter] {Iris} [5] [0] {Replace With} <Iris> [2] [5] [Enter] - for presets 1
through 5, this command will replace any iris parameter values of 50 with values of 25. This
range editing using {Replace With} can only be done in spreadsheet view.

Using By Type Presets

Storing a By Type Preset
If {By Type} is used when recording, the lowest number channel of each fixture type will be the
default channel. Generally, when storing by type presets, you will want only one channel of each fix-
ture type in use. Any additional channels in that fixture type will be recorded with discrete data.
[1] [Thru] [6] [Record] [Preset] [1] {By Type} [Enter] - Channels 1 through 6 are saved to Preset
1. Channels 1 through 6 are of the same fixture type. Channel 1 will be the default channel,
and channels 2 through 6 will be saved with discrete data.
[1] [Thru] [6] [Record] [Preset] [1] [Enter] - If a by type preset is rerecorded without using the
{By Type} softkey and the default channel is included in the record, the default channel's level
will change and all other changes will be discrete.
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] {Preset 1} {Discrete} [Enter] - If a default channel is included in a record
where {Discrete} is used and another channel is tracking it, the default channel will be changed
to having discrete data and the lowest numbered tracking channel will become the new
default channel. All other channels in the record will also have discrete data.
Editing By Type Presets in Blind
In Blind, the default channel's levels will display in blue, discrete data for the other channels will dis-
play in white, and any channels that are using the default channel value will display in magenta.
