Selecting the Fixtures
1. Open the Programmer window by
-- Pressing the PROGRAMMER softkey on the main
toolbar (bottom of the right monitor) or
-- Press the PROGRAMMER View in the Views toolbar
(top of your left monitor) or
-- Hold the OPEN key and press the 0 (Zero) key
2. Key in the User
Number(s) of the fixture(s) you wish to
select, followed by ENTER
Note: Keep in mind that you can use the
THRU, + (plus), and - (minus) keys to make your selection
Additionally: If you have Groups
created in the Group
Directory,
you can select any Group to put those fixtures in the Programmer.
In the Programmer, the Active Fixture Selection will be what is
modified when you edit. The Active FIxture Selection are the
fixtures listed in dark blue in the Programmer. Not all
fixtures
in the Programmer need to be Actively Selected at any time.
However, if you do wish to quickly select all fixtures
currently
in the Programmer and make them the Active Selection, you can:
- Press the SELECT softkey on the main toolbar (bottom of
the
right monitor), then select ALL from the new toolbar
or
- Hold the BACK and NEXT keys simultaneously.

Modifying Attributes

1. Select the fixture(s) you wish to work with
2. Press the @ key and then type in an intensity value followed by ENTER
Note: When taking fixtures to FULL, you
need only select the fixture(s) and then press the FULL key
Note: When keying in intensities other
than FULL, keying in 1 digit will assume a 0 after the digit.
Example: 1 @ 5 ENTER
will take fixture #1 to 50%
Other Methods for controlling Intensity after a fixture selection:
- Turn the Intensity encoder wheel
- Choose an Intensity Palette from the Intensity Directory
- Use the vertically mounted I-Wheel (only available on the
Wholehog 3 console)
Modifying
Other Attributes on the Encoder Wheels
1. Select the fixture(s) you wish to work with
2. Press any "Kind"
key (INTENSITY, POSITION, COLOUR, BEAM) to locate
your desired attributes. Some parameters may require you to
press
the same Kind key multiple times in order to access the attribute due
to the amount of parameters.
3. Spin the wheel until you achieve the desired value.
