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.

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 [Dimmer/Address] hardkey in Live is used to send level information directly to an output
address.

[Dimmer/Address] [5] [Full] [Enter] - sets output address 5 to full. It will return to its previous

level once the command line changes.

[Dimmer/Address] [2] [/] [1] [At] [/] [2][3][0] [Enter] - sets universe 2, address 1 at DMX

value 230.

After using the [Dimmer/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] or [Last] is used to increment to the next address.

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

Address Check

Address check allows you to quickly step through all of your patched addresses.

[Dimmer/Address] [1] [At] [Full] {Check} [Enter] - brings address 1 to full intensity.

Use [Next] or [Last] to progress through the address list to complete the address check. Any key
press other than [Next] or [Last] will terminate address check mode.
