Applying delta for memory modification

A Delta can be used to modify a memory, a range of memories, or track through all of the
memories. The F keys selection determines how the Delta is applied to the memories (see
above).
Keypresses
1. Select a memory.
2. Press [DELTA]
3. Select the appropriate F key
4. Press [STORE]

Automatic delta tracking

Automatic Delta tracking is only applicable when the Delta was created via memory
modification.
When a Delta has been created through memory modification, the number of the modified
(source) memory appears at the top of the screen in the Delta exam.
Use the Delta Tracking mode to modify a specific range of memories or an unspecified
range of memories. The modification tracks through until the parameter of the spot or the
intensity of the channel being modified changes in a target memory.
Example: Memories 1 - 10 have the same dimmer value. The dimmer value changes in
memory 11. Memories 1 - 20 have the same color wheel value. The color wheel value
changes in memory 21. Memories 1 - 30 have the same gobo value. The gobo value
changes in memory 31. Modify the dimmer, color, and gobo values in memory 1, using
basic memory modification - [MEMORY 1] [SPOT #] modify [STORE]. The
modification has created a Delta that can be used in tracking mode. If you apply the Delta
(see the sequence below), the result is that the new dimmer value is applied to memories 2
- 10. The new color wheel value is applied to memories 2 - 20. The new gobo value is
applied to memories 2 - 30.
Attempting to use the Delta tracking mode when the Delta was not created through
memory modification results in the message: Incorrect Delta Mode.
If a starting memory is not specified, as in the following key sequence, Delta tracking
begins from the source memory of the Delta.
