keypad. The Real World range will be mapped directly to the corresponding DMX value range.
Note that if a single value is entered (100%) for a corresponding DMX value range (0>255),
then you will not be able to adjust the parameter throughout the defined range.

When defining the Real World values for a function/feature, you can simply enter the numeric
value (0>100) and the predefined unit type will automatically be defined (for intensity this would
appear as percentage, for position as degrees, for strobe as hertz); you do not have to enter in the
unit type. Also if a Real World value is out of the range of the console, the minimum or maximum
value will automatically be used (an entry of 0>200% will become 0>100%).

unit type. Also if a Real World value is out of the range of the console, the minimum or maximum
value will automatically be used (an entry of 0>200% will become 0>100%).
Many features also allow negative values to be used. When defining the real world values for a
rotating gobo, for example, you could enter –50>50rpm. This real world range will be mapped
directly to the corresponding DMX value range, so if the DMX value range was 0>255, then the
real world value of 0rpm would be equal to a DMX value of 128 (positive rpm values would
map to higher DMX values and negative rpm values would map to lower DMX values).
Decimals may also be used with some Real World values (22.5>99.7rpm).

In the case of features defined as slots (gobos or colours), an additional popup box will become
available when the Real World cell is selected. This dialog box will allow you to select a name
for the gobo or colour from a predefined list of names. Slot entries will appear on the slot toolbar
during programming. Additionally you can define an offset for the slot name (in the field at the
bottom of the dialog). This offset defines the range used by the function when dialling values
on the encoder wheel. Leaving this field blank will result in the default (0%) being used.
