a colour or a gobo to a fixture. Use the More.. key to go back to the fixture selection page. From here you can access the Channels function.

5.3.2 Fans

Fans are a quick way to set an attribute on different lights to a different value. Having gone into program mode and selected the lights you wish to work with select Channels. Select the attribute you wish to work with. For instance to create a rainbow you would select a Colour parameter. Select Fan function.

The faders now represent the fixtures assigned. To see what parameter you are working with press the flash button. That will tell what fixture you are working with and what parameter has been tagged for the fan. Selecting fixtures with different attributes can lead to some strange effects!

By moving the fader for each fixture you can quickly set each fixture to a different value. For instance to make a rainbow you may set fader 1 to 10% which is red on fixture 1, fader 2 to 20% which is blue on fixture 2, fader 3 to 30% which is green on fixture 3 and fader 4 to 40% which is yellow on fixture 4.

You can use the fan function on any parameter including pan and tilt. This is a very effective way of getting lights into diagonal lines for instance.

Having set one parameter it is possible to go back and select a different attribute and repeat the process.

The best way to understand the power of this function is to try it.
