2. Using the Keypad to Select Channels

To Select Channels Using Keypad:

Step 1. At keypad, enter number of channel(s) you wish to select. (Typing will be reflected in the Command Line.)

Step 2. Use + (And), / (Through) and - (Minus) keys to select groups of channels.

Step 3. Press [@] or [*] on the QWERTY keyboard to set a level in percent.

Step 4. Enter percentage value. If you enter a single number, it will be multiplied by 10 (example: pressing [5]

[ENTER] results in 50%).

Step 5. Press [ENTER] to complete the action.

When working on the command line you can choose to terminate fixture selection and level set commands with or

without using the [ENTER] key. The options are to use Enter, Single Digit or Two Digit entry. With single digit entry

the syntax [1] [THRU] [1] [0] [@] [5] will take 1 through 10 to 50%. To achieve the same thing with Two Digit entry,

you would type [1] [THRU] [1] [0] [@] [5] [0]. If you wanted 5% in single digit entry, type [1] [THRU] [1] [0] [@]

[0] [5] [ENTER]. Note: Typing [1] [THRU] [1] [0] [@] [.] [1] [2] [7] [ENTER] will set fixtures 1 through 10 to 50%

in any mode. The decimal point identifies setting DMX512 values.

Notes:

• Alternately, you can select channels and roll the wheel to increase or decrease their level from the current position.

• Holding down [SHIFT] while rolling the wheel, changes the values in Decimal rather than Percent.

• To set a level of 5%, enter [0] [5] [ENTER].

• Use the [@] [LOOK] syntax to open the Apply Levels dialogue box to reference pre-recorded Looks as Palette II

references.

• Make sure the Num Lock key is on before using the numeric keypad.
