Getting Started With Personalities; Personality Setup Display - ETC Obsession II User Manual

Libraries
Libraries let you store commonly used attribute levels. Libraries are
particularly useful for creating color and gobo matches. Unlike groups,
which store a different level for each and every fixture, libraries set the
same level on any ML fixture of the same personality. Recalled levels may
be applied to the whole fixture or only to selected attributes of an ML
fixture.
Each personality has its own set of libraries that may not be used on other
personalities. If you record similar looks on different types of ML fixtures
and record them into the same library number, however, then you can use
that library number to set both types of fixtures.
Library zero is called the Home Library. Use it to store the default values
for each attribute that you want the ML fixture to go to when you select
library zero or press [Home].
Use Clear Library to clear the recorded value of a specific attribute in the
library. When all attributes in a library are cleared from all personalities,
Clear Library will remove the library from the library list. Select a ML fixture
to indicate which personality to clear. If a range of fixtures are selected, it
clears the libraries of each personality within the range.

Personality Setup display

The Personality Setup display allows you to work with personalities in a
variety of ways. You can copy them to or from a diskette or hard drive. You
can view them on the source diskette or hard drive as well as those copied
to the show. You can edit a personality in the show. The figure below
shows personalities displayed from the hard drive.
