Graphical View

From English DMXCWiki

Using this tool, you can graphically arrange your DMX-devices. For a clearer view it is recommended that you choose and load a background picture of your stage, room, lighting rig etc e.g. a photograph or drawing.

Right-Clicking on the background will open a context-menu:

• Change Background -> Option to choose or change the background picture
• Add device -> see Add device

Right-Clicking on a Device will also open a context-menu:

• Configure -> the menu to configure the Device will open (see Device configuration)
• Delete -> the Device will be deleted from your Configuration
• Move -> the Device-symbol will follow your mouse

Moving your mouse over a Device-symbol will show a yellow popup which contains a specific menu of the Device-type. From here the Device can be directly controlled.

Note: In Program configuration you can define the yellow popups only to appear if you left-click on the Device-symbols.

Some devices have sliders which act like faders. Double-Clicking on the symbols will change values to min/max immediately.

In selection mode you can draw a rectangle to select multiple devices by using the left mouse button. Only devices of the same type can be marked. You can also select multiple devices by holding the STRG-Key.

In move mode you can move the stage, e.g. instead of using the scrollbars (if your windows is smaller than the stage/background picture). In this mode you cannot use the rectangle to mark devices.

Note: Try the move mode with selecting a zoom factor of 2:1 and moving the picture then.
