Using [Format]
Some displays have multiple formats. When the display is first opened, it opens in its default view.
The default view for Live/Blind is table view. Pressing [Format] will toggle between table, summary,
and, if in Blind, spreadsheet views.
Live and Blind share formatting. When you change from one format to another format, you are
always working with the same format until you change it. The exception to this is spreadsheet,
which is only available in blind. If you are working in blind spreadsheet, when you return to live you
will be working with the table or summary view, based on which one you were last using.
Table View
Table view is available in live or blind. If devices other than dimmers are patched, table view
displays the fixture type associated with channels and details about each channel’s category
and
parameter levels.
In live, table view displays all active channel data being output from Element. In blind, it will display
all data for a single record target (cue, palette, submaster).
In the table view, a slight space is provided between fixture types, giving a clear delineation
between them. The name of the fixture type is displayed at the top of the section for that fixture.
