{{Manual Header
| Type = DMXC3 Main-Software
| Version = 3.2.3}}

In DMXControl 3, all paths lead to the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}}. Here, all values are centrally gathered that are set by adjusting a light scene using the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device Control DMXC3|Device Control]]}} or through the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Control Panel DMXC3|Control Panel]]}}. Only values listed in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}} can be saved (or re-saved) in a {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Cuelist DMXC3|Cue]]}}.

= Overview =

= Important Features =
The {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}} only displays already set values. If you want to change these values, you need to select the respective {{Manual Windowcaption|Device}} or {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Group}} in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Stage View}} and adjust them using the {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Control}} or the {{Manual Windowcaption|Control Panel}}.

If an existing {{Manual Windowcaption|Scene}} is loaded into the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}}, all previously contained values in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}} are overwritten.

== Function Table ==
The function table displays all values set for a specific device function. The columns include various functions, and the rows display the respective {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device DMXC3|Devices]]}} or {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device Group DMXC3|Device Groups]]}} for which the values were set.

= Usage =
== Assign Values ==
The programmer is filled in two ways:
* As soon as various values are set via the {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Control}} or the {{Manual Windowcaption|Control Panel}}, the changes are added gradually. Previously set values in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}} remain intact.
* When initiating the change of a scene using the {{Manual MenuText|Edit in Programmer}} command. However, this command will overwrite all previously existing values in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}}.

== Preview ==
By default, the programmer always displays all values that were selected through the {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Control}} or the {{Manual Windowcaption|Control Panel}} for the new light mood or that were reloaded from an existing scene into the programmer. In certain situations, this behavior can be undesirable. To adjust this behavior, there is a button {{Manual Buttons|Output Mode}} both in the left sidebar and the menu bar of the programmer.

The options listed there account for the following scenarios:
* All: The programmer behaves as described in the opening paragraph. All values are directly output, thus overwriting the current output.
* Filtered: This function is especially useful for keeping an overview in more complex light moods. For example, if you have created such a light mood for spot moving heads that includes dimmers, color, and several gobos, you might no longer be able to recognize the effect applied to the dimmer. The filter function allows you to select that the programmer only displays values for dimmers and the first gobo wheel in the stage view, while the values for color are only listed in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Control}}.
* Blind: This function is mainly useful during a live show. It allows you to change a scene in the background without the DMX output and thus the audience noticing. It should be noted that the stage view will continue to display the actual output values, while the {{Manual Windowcaption|Device Control}} and the {{Manual Windowcaption|Control Panel}} will show the values currently set in the programmer.

{{Manual Box | en | Important | The preview mode selection must be made actively. Once you change the mode from {{Manual Buttons|All}} to {{Manual Buttons|Blind}}, it remains in effect until you choose another preview mode. The exception is the function {{Manual MenuText|Edit in Programmer Blind}}. If you load a scene into the programmer using this function, the preview mode will automatically switch to {{Manual Buttons|Blind}}. It will remain set until you choose another preview mode.}}

== Change and Delete Values ==
Scenes in DMXControl 3 are always edited and changed in conjunction with the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}}. If a {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Cuelist DMXC3|Scene (Cue)]]}} is loaded into the {{Manual Windowcaption|Programmer}} using the {{Manual MenuText|Edit in Programmer}} function:
* All values stored in the scene for the respective devices are listed in the programmer.
* The stage view displays the corresponding values depending on the output mode.
* The stage view automatically selects the device groups or devices for which values are stored.
{{Manual Box | en | Important | As soon as more than two different devices or device groups are addressed together in a scene, you need to be careful when changing which devices or device groups the values are being changed for. Therefore, it is always recommended to check carefully in the programmer which devices or device groups to select for changing a value for a function in the stage view.}}
