Using By Type Presets - ETC Element User Manual

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
editing features you have while editing in spreadsheet view:
[Preset] [1] [Thru] [5] {Move To} <Preset> [9] [Enter] - this will move presets 1 through 5 to
•
presets 9 through 14 respectively. You do not have to supply the end value for Element to
perform 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} [2] [5] [Enter] - for presets 1
•
through 5, this command will replace any iris parameter values of 50 with values of 25.
Range editing using {Replace With} is easiest done in spreadsheet view, but can be done
in any Blind mode.

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 fixture 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
display in white, and any channels that are using the default channel value will display in
magenta.
Softkeys available for editing presets in blind are {By Type}, {Discrete}, and {Cleanup}.
