78 Ion Operations Manual
{Attribute} Display and Settings
The {Attributes} page provides you with optional fields for additional information and details about
the configuration of your rig. Attribute settings include {Preheat}, {Proportion}, {Curve}, {Fan
Curve}, {LD Flags}, {GM Exempt}, {Invert Pan}, {Invert Tilt}, and {Swap P/T}.
When the selected device includes a color scroller, a {Scroller} button will be displayed in the CIA,
when the selected device includes a color wheel, a gobo wheel, and/or effect wheel, {Color
Wheel}, {Gobo Wheel}, and/or {Effect Wheel} buttons will appear.
Press the desired attribute button and use the keypad to set the attribute value.
•{Preheat} - This field allows you to specify an intensity value to preheat incandescent
filaments. When a preheat flag is applied to a cue, any channels that are fading from zero to
an active intensity and have been assigned a preheat value in patch will preheat in the
immediately preceding cue.
•[1] {Preheat} [0] [3] [Enter] - channel 1 is assigned a patched preheat value of 3%.
The preheat flag is applied to a cue as an attribute when the cue is recorded.
•{Proportion} - An attribute to set a modifier for the intensity of the device. If the patch limit is
set at 90% (for example), the actual output will always be 10% lower than the specified
intensity parameter, as impacted by the various playbacks or submasters. This value is set
numerically in a range of 0% to 200%.
•[1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [1] [2] [5] [Enter] -applies a 125% proportion to channel
1.
•[1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [Enter] - removes the applied proportion from channel 1.
•{Curve} - Used to assign a curve to an address in patch. In patch, curve is applied to intensity
parameters only.
From channel view:
•[1] {Curve} [4] [Enter] - applies curve 4 to the intensity parameter of channel 1.
•[2] [Part] [3] {Curve} [3] [Enter] - applies curve 3 to the intensity assigned to channel
2, part 3.
From address view:
•[3] {Curve} [3] [Enter] - assigns curve 3 to address 3.
•[3] [/] [2] {Curve} [4] [Enter] - assigned curve 4 to universe 3, address 2.
•{Fan Curve} - Used to assign a curve to the scroller fan parameter, which allows for the output
of the fan to be controlled by the intensity of the channel. Curves available for this are the
same used for intensity parameters and cues.
Note:
When {Curve} or {Fan Curve} is pressed, a list of the available curves will be
displayed. Clicking on an available curve will assign it.
