About [About]
Pressing [About] puts the console in “about” mode, which allows you to examine “about”
information indefinitely, simply by selecting the item you are interested in.
When in about mode, selecting a channel will reveal information about that channel. Below are
examples of the “Current Values” view (see below) of information that is presented when selecting
conventional or moving lights.
The buttons on the right side of the about screen alter the information that is displayed for the
selected channel. The selected button is highlighted in gray. The buttons are:
• {Current Values} - this shows any current information that the channel is receiving and
following.
• {Background} - this displays any information that is being sent to the channel, but not
adhered to since another source has ownership of the channel. The background source is
also what will take control when the current source is released or manual control is removed.
The background data will be represented in blue for a cue or yellow for a submaster.
• {Moves} - this shows the previous move, value of the previous move, the next move, and its
value.
• {Usage} - this shows where and how a channel is used.
• {Patch} - this displays patch information about the channel.
• {Lamp Controls} - this displays lamp on, lamp off, any parameter reset commands, and
available RDM commands associated with the channel. If it is a moving light with remote-
strike and/or reset functions, this key will access those controls. If the channel controls
dimmers, no parameters will be displayed.
