Overview

Here we explain the "programmer view" - a tool that helps to "debug" your show programming.

Lecture 10: The programmer view

The programmer is a helpful tool during programming your show. It logs all modifications you have made and shows the current content of the "cue buffer".

Hint: Remember the "save scene" dialog in DMXControl 2. Here you were requested to determine the channels and values before finally saving the cue. The programmer ist a more extended view of this functionality.

Let's illustrate this by an example. We make following actions:

at first we open the moving lights shutters and select the color green
secondly, we set the group of front lights to 50% brightness
thirdly, all RGB Pars are set to color X
finally, the RGB Pars 3 and 6 are set to color Y

The result is shown in the programmer. Please be aware the the cue is not saved at this point of time, because further modification could follow.

In case you change your mindset on the current cue, you can press the Clear button in order to remove all settings und refresh the programmer.

If your cue is OK, then assign to a cue list or an executor by "Add new cue" button - a clear the programmer too (to provide "space" for the next cue).

Filter Output (not yet implemented)

You can filter the output of the programmer. Use "Set Filter", the Programmer Filter will be opened. Deselect all Properties that should be filtered out and close the programmer filter. If you now select "Filtered" as Output Mode, only the selected properties will be outputted. The Programmer highlights the outputted properties.

topics to be added (by beta testers)

Are there further operations with programmer?

Excercise

Repeat the above scenario
