Programming
Group Buffer Commands (Cont.)
Command
GL
Deletes DMX outputs from any group.
GO
Sets the current output values in the
Groups to the same value as the cur-
rent actual DMX output.
16
Description
This command removes one or more output channels from the group
that they are connected to. These outputs go immediately to 0% in the
Group buffer.
DO NOT specify which group these are to be removed from, because
a channel can only be a member of one group at a time.
The list can be single outputs and/or ranges of outputs separated by
commas.
Syntax:
"'GL<list of DMX outputs>'"
Variable:
list of DMX outputs = 1-512
Example:
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'GL1-50'
Removes DMX channels 1 through 50 from any group.
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'GL5,10,20-25'
Removes DMX channels 5, 10, and 20 through 25 from any group.
This command copies the actual output levels for the AXB-DMX512
box to the Group buffer for one or more groups.
Syntax:
"'GO<list of groups>'"
This has the effect of copying the highest value from the patch or
direct control buffer into the group buffer if they are higher than the
value in the Group buffer.
This is useful in the event a programmer wishes to add a group and
then ramp it down from its current level. To do this:
Use the Direct or Patch buffer to set the DMX outputs as needed.
Add one or more groups using the 'GP' command.
Use group copy ('GO') to copy the box outputs to the group buffer for
these groups.
Disconnect the Patch buffer ('PZ') or send the Direct buffer ('DZ')
to 0%.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'GO1'
Copies outputs for all channels in Group 1 to the Group buffer.
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'GO5-8'
Copies outputs for all channels in Groups 5 through 8 to the Group
buffer.
Warning: The 'GO' command only works normal
(non-proportional) groups. To work around this, use the direct
ramp ('DR') command to set each group to full, instead of using
the 'GO' command.
