Export Devices as Channels
Check the option "For lights with attributes, export only the first row" in Export options.
Otherwise it will export all of the attribute channels as separate channels for moving lights.
LIMITATIONS
If there are multiple items/units with the same channel number, only the item/unit data for the
last item/unit will be imported. This is because the multiple units use the same channel
number and one channel cannot contain different data's. In this case each unit has its own
row in the exported file, so several rows have the same channel number.
If the Lightwright show includes several units patched to one channel, only the last Unit# will
be imported.
Import Text File - Excel
It is easy to import Channel Database texts from an Excel file. Here are some good things to
know.
If you have a nicely formatted list (check example below) and want to import this to the
Channel Database, you need to make sure the table only has headers at the top, since these
are recognized by the import tool. Save as a Tab delimited .txt file.
