Handson Manual
Position
Add a position part if a fxture features
pan & tilt movement.
Select the element from the AVAILABLE
list and click on the >> button. Once
included in the list on the right, you can
change the CHANNEL
Once the element is added to the
personality fle you can change the
CHANNEL and the RANGE values of the element.
MSB/LSB
The acronyms MSB (Most Signifcant Byte) and LSB (Least Signifcant Byte) are frequently used when
creating new personality fles.
MSB: Controls the 8-bit operations of the fxture (sometimes referred to as “Coarse”).
LSB: Controls the 16-bit operations of the fxture, 16-bit is used for the fne adjustments. It can only be
used if the fxture supports 16-bit (sometimes referred to as “Fine”). When a fxture supports 16-bit
controls, you have to defne both MSB and LSB!
Shutter
In the shutter part you can add a shutter closed and three diferent strobe
functions.
If no function is set by Handson, so no Closed shutter, Strobe Linear, etc, then
the channel is set to its ‘idle’ value. You do not need to defne an idle value in
the Builder; Handson will automatically choose a value that is not used for
anything else. Please note that you can use the RESERVED range to prevent
Handson from using certain values as idle.
Several other parts use idle values as well when not activated, like Reset,
Lamp, Display, etc. Therefore these parts will also feature the reserved
ranges.
Dimmer Iris Focus Zoom
The Dimmer, Iris, Focus and Zoom have
Control and Control LSB ranges that can
be added.
When setting the Control range for the
Iris part, please make sure that the
minimal value represents an open
aperture and the maximum value
represents iris closed.
