Data Copy and Move

Copy Channel

The Copy Channel feature is used to copy current parameter settings from one

luminaire to another (or to a group of luminaires). All parameter settings, including

any timing values, can be copied - as permitted by any filter settings at the touch

screen. Cue data, however, will not be copied.

The luminaire from which data is being copied is referred to as the “source” luminaire.

The luminaires receiving the data are referred to as “target” luminaires. The target

luminaires will immediately conform to the selected parameter data (including spin

properties) of the source luminaire. If the source luminaire does not have data stored

for a particular parameter or the parameter has been filtered from the operation, then

the target luminaires will not change their current settings for those parameters. Once

the target luminaires have conformed to the new parameter data, you may store a new

cue or continue to manipulate the luminaires via manual control and then store a cue.

How Data is Derived from Presets

If the source luminaire contains data provided by a Preset, then the system uses a

hierarchy to determine how to translate this data to the target luminaire. The system

will first look for a matching Preset number. For example, if the source contains data

from Preset 2, then the new luminaire will look for Preset 2. If no matching Preset is

found, then it will look for a matching Select. If no Select is found, then the new

luminaire will conform to the parameter(s) by utilizing absolute data.

Copy a channel:

Step 1. Select target channel(s).

Step 2. At touch screen, set filters.

Step 3. At keypad, press [Recall] [Chan] [n] - where n is the number of the channel

you wish to copy.
