Device-Popup

From English DMXCWiki

If you hover a Device in your Graphical View you will see a yellow popup window. Here you can manage the Device. How to create specific menues for your individual Device can be lerned in the tutorial “Device- and Formsconfiguration-Tutorial”.

Hint: In the program settings you are able to set that the yellow popup only will appear when you click on the Device.

Some devices have got slider which work similar as the Fader. A double-click with your left mousebutton Effects a sudden change from the minimal to the maximal value.

The popup menues are a huge help for your formation of your show:

• Here you a dynamical view of the current (set) DMX-signals.
• You can also change settings of the Device directly without knowing the exact numeric DMX-values.
• Through the possibility that you can use procesures in the Device definition (DDF, Device Definition File) you can manage depencies and multi-occupancies elegancy thus that the handling is very simple.

A Device popup has got three buttons:

• Move-Button: Click to move the popup
• Pin-Button: Click to disable the automatic hide of the popup. It is possible to “pin” more than on popup on the stageview.
• Help-Button: If the help tag is defined in the DDF you will find here a short usage of the DDF and perhaps the author.
