Step 6: To select a device interface (optional), press {Interface}.
• This displays three buttons labeled {ACN}, {EDMX}, and {All}. Select an
interface for the selected device. Once your selection is made, the command
line will populate with the selected interface and terminate.
Step 7: Select the {Attributes} softkey to set detailed moving light attributes.
• The following softkeys are available from this page: {Invert Pan} and {Invert Tilt},
{Swap}, {Scroller}, {Gobo Wheel} and {Color Wheel}.
• If your moving light includes parameters such as a color scroller or gobo
wheel and you have custom gels or non-standard pattens installed, use the
Scroller/Wheel Picker and the Editor to modify the device patched (See
Using the Scroller/Wheel Picker and Editor, page 73 ). The more specific your
patch data (including accurate colors and patterns) the more detailed
programming and operating will be.
Step 8: Select the {Database} softkey to specify notes and keyword text related to your
selected channel for reference and future queries.
• Pressing the {Notes} and/or a {Text} button opens the virtual keyboard on the
CIA. Pressing [Enter] returns the CIA to the database page.
Patching a Compound Channel
A compound channel consists of any channel that controls more than one device. It can cionsist of
mutliple dimmers patched to the same channel or accessories patched to a channel (such as a
fixture with a color scroller, a fixture with a gobo wheel, and so on).
To patch a compound channel in channel format:
• [8] [Part] [2] [At] [5] [1] [3]
This will create a part 2 for channel 8 and address it at output 513. If you wish to patch by
address while in the channel view, press:
• {Address} [5] [1] [3] [At] [8] [Enter]
This will perform the same action as the previous example, assuming channel 8 was
previously patched to an address.
To patch a compound channel in address format:
• [5] [1] [3] [At] [8] [Enter]
This will perform the same action as the previous example, assuming channel 8 was
previously patched to an address.
C A U T I O N : It is recommended that you do not patch more than one multiple-parameter device
(such as moving lights) to the same channel.
