Description

Updating Presets

The Update Preset command updates the DMX channels of a preset in the currently active zone. Use this command to change the DMX channels stored in a preset without changing any of the other properties recorded in the preset (such as the fade time and rules).

If no preset with the preset number exists in the active zone, a new preset will be created. If a preset with the preset number already exists, only the preset’s DMX channels will be updated by using this command. All other preset parameters will not be affected.

Update Preset Options

Several options are available to change how a preset is updated. More than one option may be used, and they can be listed in any order.

Input
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded by using only values from the DMX Input. The playback faders and DMX output will not be recorded.

Playback n
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded by using only values from the specified playback fader. The DMX input and output will not be recorded.

Live
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded by using only values from the special Live playback fader. The DMX input and output will not be recorded.

Fade t
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded with a Fade Time of t.

Name s
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded with a Name of s.

Zone “z”
If this option is used, then the updated preset will be recorded into the Zone named z. This option overrides the currently active zone.
