2.5 Initializing of stage

Optionally movement and positions of the light beam are handled as X/Y
coordinates on stage. The value 0/0 corresponds to the middle of the stage.
Changing the X value relates to movement right or left, changing Y moves
between front and backside of the stage. This way of calculation makes it
necessary to do an initialization before starting the programming of scenes,
but gives you a list of advantages
- Programs can be easily transferred to a new stage setup.
- On followspot mode via trackball all beams stay together.
- Moving the trackball or mouse in one direction will move the beam of all
lamps the same direction.
To be able to use these advantages, the stage has to be "shown" to the single
scans. This initialization is done by pointing with the beam to the 4 corners of
the stage. (The most exact way to do this initialization is by using nearly
closed iris or small dot gobo >> see chapter 3 Direct access.)

Selection of one scan.
Clears all former initializations and gives the scan a
standard movement. This is helpful if the movement
of the scan in some way is restricted by a former
initialization.
