6 Basic Manual Control 123
Home
Ion is equipped with a [Home] hardkey. This hardkey allows you to home a specific parameter.
Additionally, you may home all of a channel’s non-intensity parameters or home only a specific
category (I, F, C, B).
Homing a channel, category, parameter, or submasters will return it to the default value.
• [1] [Home] [Enter] - homes all parameters for channel 1, except intensity.
• [1] [Color] [Home] [Enter] - homes all color parameters for channel 1.
• [Group] [1] [Color] [Focus] [Home] [Enter] - homes the color and focus parameters of all
channels in group 1. You can use the category keys in the CIA or the encoder paging keys.
• [Sub] [1] [Home] [Enter] - homes submaster 1.
• [Sub] [1] [Thru] [Home] [Enter] - homes all submasters.
You can select a preset to provide home values for non-intensity parameters (instead of fixture
library default values) when home commands are used. Store a preset with modified home values
for only the channel parameters you would like at a different value than default. And then assign
that preset to Home in Setup (see Show Settings, page 96). Since home does not impact intensity,
any intensity values stored in the home preset will be disregarded. Any channels that are not
included in the preset assigned to Home in Setup will use their library defaults.
Select Last
The [Select Last] key allows you to reselect the previous channel selection. This includes multiple
channel selections, groups, and so on. Using [Select Last] [Select Last] you can recall the last
completed command line. However [Select Last] [Select Last] will not terminate the command
line, [Enter] is required.
Pressing [Shift] & [Select Last], the softkeys on Ion change to display the following additional
options:
• {Select Active} - selects all active channels. Pressing {Select Active} once will capture all
active levels. Pressing {Select Active} twice will capture all active manual levels and those
from playbacks except for submasters. Select NonSub Active will post to the command line.
• {Select Manual} - selects all channels with manual data.
• {Select All} - selects all channels.
On a completed command line, using [At] or [Select Last] after {Select Active} or {Select
Manual} will post the numeric channel list to the command line.
For example, cue 1 is active, and has channels 1 through 5 at full. Using the syntax, {Select
Active} [Enter] [At] will post channels 1 through 5 onto the command line.
Another example, Channels 10 through 20 have a manual level of 75. Using {Select Manual}
[Enter] [Select Last] will put channels 10 through 20 onto the command line.
