Advanced Fixture Programming maXim MP L(P) XL(P) XXL(P)Operator Manual V3Page 54 LSC Lighting Systems (Aust) Pty. LtdWhen you use the store method, the parametersettings of all of the Fixtures on the PaTPad willbe saved subject to one simple rule.Only FLASHING parameters will be Stored.When a Fixture is loaded onto the PaTPad it willautomatically be Hi-lighted and it will not have anyFilters so all of its parameters will be flashing. Youdecide which parameters on which Fixtures youwant to store by selecting the appropriate Filtersand/or Hi-lights.• Filters apply to parameters.• Hi-lights apply to entire fixtures.If one or more Filters are applied, only the Filteredparameter will flash.If a Fixture is not Hi-lighted, none of itsparameters will flash.Be sure to always check the “Pad View” screenbefore completing the store operation to seeexactly which parameters will be included.16.17 NO STORE PARAMETERSAny parameters defined in a fixture’s template as“no store” will never be saved. This preventsparameters such as “reset” or “lamp off” frombeing recalled by a scene. These parameters canonly be manually controlled directly from thePaTPaD.See the LSC document on “How to write fixturetemplates” for more details.It is available on the LSC forum at;http://forums.lsclighting.com.auGo to “maXim Control Desks”, “Templates”.16.18 CLEARING PARAMETERSSelected parameters can be cleared (removed)from a scene, leaving the other stored parametersunaltered. This action does not set the parameterto zero, but totally removes it from the scene.To clear a parameter(s) from a scene, select theFixture(s) on the PaTPad and ensure that onlyFixtures to be included are Hi-lighted. Filter theparameter(s) to be cleared so that they are theonly parameters flashing then press;[store], [clear], [page] (optional), [f/a] (scenenumber)Only FLASHING parameters will be CLEARED.16.19 STORING INTENSITY ONLY SCENESWhen scenes are saved using the “store” button,they do not include intensity. When you playbackthese scenes you can fade up each fixture usingits individual fader but it can be cumbersome tocontrol a large number of fixtures and if fixturesare patched to the red faders the maXim must bein wide mode. It is easier to create a scene thatonly controls intensity and use it as an “intensitymaster”.To store a scene containing only fixtureintensities and no parameters;Get the fixtures onto the PaTPaD.The quickest method is to fade up the fixtures,then press;[get], [flash] (yellow master).Clear all Hi-lights;[clear], [fixture displayer].With no fixtures Hi-lighted, none of theirparameters will be included.To store the scene with its intensity levels, press[store + level], [page] (optional), [f/a] (scenenumber).16.19.1 STORING ONLY ALTEREDPARAMETERSTo store a scene of only altered (a) parameters,press;[colour/beam/focus],[store],[page] (optional red or blue page),[f/a] (scene number).16.20 DIRECT ATTRIBUTE CONTROLThe maXim also provides an alternative to thePaTPad that allows you direct access to theattribute values of a Fixture allowing you to adjustthem via the edit wheel with their values displayedon “video 1” (Channel View) screen.Note: Direct edit wheel control sets the level ofan attribute, not a parameter. See the“Terminology” section for more details.To directly control an attribute of a fixture, press;[select], [f/a] (fixture number).Video 1, (Channel View), is automaticallydisplayed with the selected Fixture highlighted bya dark red background.The attribute to be controlled is selected with the[<] and [>] buttons below the EDIT wheel and isindicated by a dark grey background.To alter the selected attribute, rotate the EDITwheel .When finished press; [select]. |
