GROUPS
Overview
To automate channel selection, groups of channels may be stored into the Group palette. Groups can also be created
and recalled from the command-line keypad.
For example, you could store all VL2000™ spot luminaires as one group and all VL2000™ wash luminaires as another
group. These groups can be labeled in the Group palette as "VL2K Spot" and "VL2K Wash."
Guidelines:
+
When a Group is stored, channel selection
order
is retained. This is known as an "Ordered Group." This
information may be used for stepping through Next/Last sequences or deleted as required. Refer to
on page 131 for more information.
+
When an existing Group is updated or re-stored, the new information replaces the old information. It does not add
to the existing group information.
+
Advanced group settings can be configured using the Group super palette. Refer to
on page 132 for more information.
