Artist Help:Parameter Properties Ranges

By default the range of a slider control is that of the resolution of the parameter it is attached to i.e. 255 decimal or 65535 decimal for 16 bit parameters. Some fixtures combine variable parameters on one channel. For example, a fixture channel might have a range of values for the iris and another for the dimmer. Defining ranges in the Slider control will provide a column of small buttons that allow you to select these ranges. When selected, the Sliders values are limited to those of the range.

To create a range

• type the name of the range in the edit box. The first letter of this name will appear in the range button and when selected it will appear in the title of the control
• set the low limit of the range in the first of the spin-edit controls. If a Fixture is connected to the DMX line, you can observe its behavour to the set value.
• set the high limit of the range in the second spin-edit control. If a Fixture is connected to the DMX line, you can observe its behavour to the set value
• click store. The range will appear in the list

You may have created a color selector using colors in the Shortcuts, but some fixtures also have a continuous rotation range. This, in addition to the color shortcuts allows you to specify the continuous rotation range.
