Auto Palettes
1. Open the Fixture window by holding the OPEN key and pressing the
FIXTURE key.
2. At the top of the Fixture window, press AUTO PALETTES
3. In the Pop-Up window, click GENERATE

Recording Groups
1.
Select the fixtures that you wish to store in the Group by
keying in their User Numbers.
2. This will put those fixtures into the Programmer.
3. Ensure that the fixtures you want stored are Actively
Selected
(these are the fixtures listed in dark blue in the Programmer window)
4. Press the RECORD key and touch any empty box in the Group
Directory window.
5. Press the SET key and enter a name, followed by ENTER
6. Clear the Programmer by pressing the CLEAR key.
Hint: I always recommend testing objects
immediately after creation.
For Groups, simply touch the Group you just created and
confirm
that the correct fixtures have been sent to the Programmer window.
If you realize you made a mistake, you can use my favorite
button: UNDO (available on the main toolbar at the bottom of the right
monitor) to move backwards in your work and recreate the information
correctly (hopefully) the second time.
