The default Profile is 1, if you do not enter a profile for a dimmer the system assumes Profile 1 and leaves the PRF row (brown) empty. By leaving the LEV (white) and PRF (brown) rows empty it is easier to find those dimmers where you have specifically modified the output of the dimmer. -

NON-DIM NON-DIM NON-DIM NON-DIM Dimmers can be patched and operated as a Non-Dim. A Non-Dim goes from 0 to 100% instantly. It is your On/Off switch for circuits that can not be dimmed. You may use a Non-Dim to turn on a fog machine, mirror ball, prop radio or TV. -

Another use of both 2 Scene, but more often 1 Scene, is to manually establish a lighting look on stage and then record that look to a memory preset.

One good use of this ability is running the basic show cues (say Cues 0.5 thru 300) on the AB cross fader. And at the same time using the XY cross fader to run the cues for the sunrise thru sunset thru night cues on the cyclorama using Cues 500 - 550. -
