Export ASCII Patch

Bestand > Exporteer

The Export ASCII Patch command exports the dimmer and channel information from the drawing to a USITT standard ASCII text patch file (Version 3.0, Ident 3.0).

To export dimmer and channel information to a patch file:

1.      Select the command.

2.      Select whether to clear existing console patch information when importing the patch data into the lighting console. Click Ja to delete all existing patch data in the console before importing the new patch. Click Neen to preserve the current console patch data; the new patch information may overwrite existing data.

3.      The Export ASCII Patch File dialog box opens. Specify the location and file name of the patch text file.

Fixtures with multiple channels are patched sequentially. For example, setting the Channel to 6, the Dimmer to 20, and the Num Channels to 4 generates the following patch information:

Channel

Dimmer

6

7

8

9

20

21
