5.9 UNIVERSE VIEW
In the “Universe” tab, if you right click on a Universe you can view that universe in a new
“Universe View” tab. The Universe View shows the last received values from all parameters
of the universe and the controlled value. If the parameter is not controlled, a blue bar
indicates the value and the value in the bottom shows the exact value. If the parameter is
controlled by NEXLAN, a red bar indicates the controlled value. The value at the bottom is
the last received value and the value just above that is the controlled value.
A thin red line groups the parameters which belong to a patched fixture. If a parameter has
a thick red outline, there are more than one fixtures patched to this parameter.
By clicking the Mode button you can change the way you want to view this universe:
• Channel View individual channels
• Fixture View channels grouped per fixture
• History View the history of the channels
The View button contains options to view the values as Hexadecimal, Decimal or
Percentage.
The Source button allows you to change the universe you are viewing.
The Show Activity button switches the view to the activity view. Here you can easily see
whether or not there is activity on the universe. You can reset it by pressing the Reset
button and switch back to the normal view by pressing Hide Activity.
