116 Ion Operations Manual
Setting Parameters with the Keypad
When the CIA is placed in parameter mode, all parameters of selected channels may be given
numeric values through the keypad.
When no channels are selected, the CIA shows all of the parameters that are available in the
lighting system. When channels are selected, the CIA condenses to show only the parameters that
are appropriate to the selection set. If channels are selected that have different device types, such
as spot and wash lights, the CIA will show all of the available parameters. Parameters that are not
available to all channels are grayed out.
Using [At] [/] [/] will place the direct DMX value on the command line. For example, [1] [At] [/] [/]
[2][3][9] [Enter] would put channel 1 at DMX value 239.
The following examples illustrate how to set parameter values with the keypad:
• [5] {Iris} [5] {Zoom} [6] [5] {Edge} [5] [Enter] - sets channel 5 to an iris value of 50%, a zoom
value of 65%, and an edge value of 50%.
Adjusting Parameters Using + and -
[+] and [-] can be used to adjust parameters from the command line. When using [-], you will need
to preface the command with [+] if you want to remove from the current value.
For Example:
• [Channel List] {Pan} [1][0] - sets to 10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [+] [1][0] - adds 10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [-] [1][0] - sets to -10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [+] [-] [1][0] - removes 10 degrees.
Setting Non-intensity Parameters with the Encoders
Encoders provide a quick method to adjust current values for non-intensity parameters. The four
encoders are pageable using the six encoder page hardkeys to the upper right of the encoder LCD.
The encoder page keys consist of: [Focus], [Custom], [Color], [Form], [Image], and [Shutter].
Form, Image and Shutter are subcategories within the broader parameter category of Beam.
• Focus - includes pan and tilt control.
• Custom - includes intensity and intensity MSpeed.
• Color - includes all color mixing controls (CMY, RGB, HS), as well as scrollers, color wheels
and color effects.
• Form- includes parameters that affect the quality or size of the light output, such as edge,
zoom, iris, IMF, frost, etc.
• Image - includes anything that drops into the gate, such as gobos, effects wheels, etc.
• Shutter - includes all of the framing devices for the luminaire.
The LCD beneath the encoders indicates the parameters they control and provides additional
information about the current status of those parameters. Encoder pages populate with parameters
relevant to fixtures in the show patch. When you access a parameter page, controls that are not
available for selected channels are suppressed.
Note:
Pressing [Shift] + [Encoder Paging Key] will place the associated parameter onto
the command line for numeric entry.
