5 - NUNPAD
From here you can set channels and HTP fixtures values directly to the programmer or just select fixtures on "fixture control"
There are two notation methods:
Standard mode (Std) and AVAB RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) mode (RPN)
You can set your prefferent mode in Settings > Other > Numpad RPN Mode : Check for RPN (default) and Uncheck for Standard
When an order is admitted, It will be placed up to the command line and will be recorded on Repeat Log in order to quick call it when you need it (Log will be cleared on next reboot).
CH or ID
If you want to change channels directly you must refer to CH, otherwise use ID if you want to refer to FIXTURES
[CH] button is NOT necessarily if you are in Standard Mode
So, to set channel 1 to 50% press: 1 [@LEVEL] 50 [ENTER]
When you refer to ID you can or set LTP value of the fixture or just SELECT the fixture
To set dimmer channel of fixture ID 101 to 50%:
(Std) [ID] 101 [@LEVEL] 50 [ENTER]
(RPN) 101 [ID] 50 [@LEVEL]
To select fixture 101 thru 112:
(Std) [ID] 101 [THRU] 112 [ENTER]
(RPN) 101 [ID] 112 [THRU] 0 [@LEVEL]
[THRU] , +(plus) and -(minus)
Usefull buttons to group, add or substract channels on your selection
example:
To set channels from 1 to 24 but NO channel 4 and add channel 28, all at 50%
(Std) [CH] 1 [THRU] 24 [-] 4 [+] 28 [@LEVEL] 50 [ENTER]
(RPN) 1 [CH] 24 [THRU] 4 [-] 28 [+] 50 [@LEVEL]
FULL KEY
Use it to replace [@LEVEL] 100 [ENTER] (Std) or 100 [@LEVEL] (RPN)
example:
To set channel 1 to full
(Std) [CH] 1 [FULL] or just 1 [FULL]
(RPN) 1 [CH] [FULL]
POINT(.) Button
By default, channels that you write are related to Output A but you can refer to other Outputs typing:
"1 [.] channel number from 1 to 512" for OUTPUT A or just channels from 1 to 512
"2 [.] channel number from 1 to 512" for OUTPUT B or just channels from 513 to 1024
"3 [.] channel number from 1 to 512" for OUTPUT C or just channels from 1025 to 1536
"4 [.] channel number from 1 to 512" for OUTPUT D or channels from 1536 to 2048
So , If you write (std): 2[.]1 [@LEVEL] 80 [ENTER] you are setting channel 1 of OUTPUT B.
In the same way you can write 513 [@LEVEL] 80 [ENTER] that is the same.
Special Keys [ALL] [-%] and [+%]
These keys will affect all active channels on the programmer
ALL will set to all active channels at an absolute value in front of -% and +% that will proportionally adds or substracts 5% to all active channels
for example (Std):
We want first 20 channels at 50%
[CH] 1 [THRU] 20 [@LEVEL] 50 [ENTER]
if after this you see that really need more light...
[ALL] [@LEVEL] 80 [ENTER]
then you add an special at full
[CH] 25 [FULL]
But there are lot of light, and you want to dark it 10% without lose the levels
[-%] (2 times)
(RPN):
1 [CH] 20 [THRU] 50 [@LEVEL]
[ALL] 50 [@LEVEL]
25 [CH] [FULL]
[-%] (2 times)
<< and C button
Touch [<<] to clear last entry in command line
Touch [C] to clear the whole line
IMPORTANT TIP: In order to set channels with values as 0-255 instead of % , touch and hold [@LEVEL]
example: to set channel 25 to value 129
(Std) [CH] 25 Touch [@LEVEL] and hold it 129 [ENTER]
(RPN) 25 [CH] 129 Touch [@LEVEL] and hold it
In Both cases you will see [val] in command line instead of @
OTHER USEFUL TIP:
In Standard Mode pressing "channel number " and [ENTER] will set this channel at 80% as a QUICK TEST
