Selecting Fixture X Out Of Y; Assigning Names To Fixtures - Philips Strand Lighting Quick Start Manual

500ML Lighting Control Console

Selecting Fixture X out of Y

The console offers a built in modulo sub-selection function that allows the selection of every Xth fixture out of Y.
The syntax is uses [.] [.] for the "out of" portion of the command.
In the following example, we are going to select every first fixture out of every three fixtures:
1) To select fixtures 501 to 512:
2) Type [1][.] [.] [3] [ENTER] on the keypad.
3) To select every second fixture out of three, type [2][.] [.] [3] [ENTER]
4) To select every third fixture out of three, type [3][.] [.] [3] [ENTER]
Please note you may also combine the modulo function with more advanced functions:
1) Select fixtures 501 to 512
2) Type [1] [+] [2] [.] [.] [3] [ENTER] on the keypad translates into "Select each first and second fixture out of
three".
Or:
1) Select fixtures 501 to 512
2) Typing [1] [THRU] [3] [+] [5] [.] [.] [5] [ENTER] on the keypad translates into "Select each first through
third and fifth fixture out of five fixtures".
