Info

Features of the Personality Editor The Personality Editor runs in two windows called the Personality Edit and Channel windows. These are pictured below. Note that the title in the Personality Edit window also carries the name P of the current personality and the title in the Channel window also carries the Attribute Type A of the current channel. Both windows contain a number of buttons. These buttons are normally grayed out but the button labels darken when the function becomes available. The Personality Editor window displays at C a running count of the number of channels already added to the personality. The Channel window displays at D the number of the dimmer assigned to the current channel. Also, if the channel is set for 16-bits, the Channel window displays at DF the number of the second channel of the two-channel pair (Dimmer Fine). Online help is available from the Personality Edit window. Expression Personality Editor QuickGuide 6 P C A D DF
Personality Edit functions • Label A name you assign to the personality, different from the filename, that is displayed when the personality is identified in the console. The label may have no fewer than 1 character (you must assign a label) or as many as 12 characters, using any combination of letters, numbers or text symbols (# % & * ( ) + ' – [ ] /, as well as the comma and period). NOTE: If you attempt to read a personality into a show that contains a personality with the same label, you will have a choice whether to keep the existing personality or replace it with the new one. • Remote Dimmer Specifies, if checked, that the fixture does not provide its own dimmer. The dimmer must be selected in Fixture Patch. • [Save] Quick button to save a personality file. You can also save the file from the File menu. • [Revert] Button to remove all changes to the current personality. CAUTION: This removes everything since the last Personality Editor file operation, such as an Open or a Save. • [Exit] Quick button to leave the Personality Editor. You can also leave from the File menu. Channel functions • Attribute Type Lists attribute labels (default is the type, Not Used). • Channel Attributes Assigns settings for the channel (default is nothing selected). Click to select all that apply. • Display Format Specifies how the channel level displays in the console. (Intended for a future software upgrade—level currently defaults to Percent.) • Home Specifies a default level for the channel. (Intended for a future software upgrade.) • [Previous] Steps to the preceding channel, or two channels below if the preceding channel is set for 16-bits. • [Next] Steps to the next channel, or two channels above if the next channel is set for 16-bits. • [Insert] Adds a new channel to the personality at the current channel number. The new channel has default settings. • [Delete] Deletes the current channel from the personality (both channels if the channel is set for 16-bits). • [Revert] Removes all changed channel settings since the last [Apply]. • [Apply] Adds a channel to the personality or, if the current channel is already in the personality, applies settings to it.
