Channel Check

Channel check allows you to quickly step through all of your patched channels. This is useful for
checking lamps or checking focus.

The following examples illustrates the how to use the channel check feature:

[1] [at] [7] <0> {Channel Check} [Enter] - brings channel 1 to 70% intensity

[Next] - channel 1 returns to its background state and channel 2 is set to 70% intensity.

[Next] - channel 2 returns to its background state and channel 3 is set to 70% intensity.

For Example:

If the command line currently reads:

[1] [at] [5] <0> [Enter]

You may still place channel 1 in channel check mode even though the command line is

terminated. Press:

{Channel Check} [Enter]

Use [Next] or [Last] to progress through the channel list to complete the channel check. Any

other key press other than [Next] or [Last] will terminate channel check mode.

Address at Level

The {Address} softkey in Live (found on the second softkey page), is used to send level information
directly to an output address. This allows you to identify a luminaire patched in the system and also
to set that luminaire’s level independent of what the patch is sending.

[More SK] {Address} [5] [At] [Full] [Enter] - sets output address 5 to full. It will return to its

previous level once the command line changes.

After using the {Address} command, [Next] and [Last] may be used to increment the address
number and set it to the same level. Addresses return to their previous level once the command line
is cleared or [Next]/[Last] is used to increment to the next address.

This feature is useful when you want to perform an address or “dimmer” check.

N o t e :

Parked dimmers will not be affected by the channel check feature.
