Create a World

Worlds are created in the programmer and stored in the world pool.

Worlds may be thought of as matrix with rows (fixtures) and columns (attributes), and being in a world may block programmer access to rows and/or columns in sheets.

The created world will contain the rows of the current fixture selection and the columns of any active attribute. If no attributes were active, all columns/attributes are included in the created world.

Examples

Requirement:

Have a world pool and fixture sheet visible on a screen.

Create a World with Fixture 1 to 5

1. Clear the programmer.
2. Select fixture 1 thru 5 (or any 5 fixtures in your show).
3. Press and hold on an empty world in the World Pool until the world is stored.
4. Tap the newly created world.

Now there is only programming access to fixture 1 thru 5, which is reflected by the fixture sheet. All attributes are available.

Create a World with Fixtures and Attributes

Worlds do not contain any values, but active attribute values are needed to store the attribute information for filtering in the world.

Example with five fixtures and only one attributes:

1. Tap World 1 (Full) in the World Pool.
2. Clear the programmer.
3. Select fixture 1 thru 5 (or any 5 fixtures in your show).
4. Give the fixtures a dimmer value - the values do not matter.
5. Press and hold an empty world in the World Pool until the world is stored.
6. Tap the new world.

Look in a fixture sheet. It only displays the selected fixtures and the dimmer attribute.

Store a World with All Fixtures but Only Some Attributes

If the world is stored without selected fixtures then all fixtures can be used.

Example with only position attributes:

1. Tap World 1 (Full) in the World Pool.
2. Clear the programmer.
3. Select fixture 1 thru 5 (or any 5 fixtures in your show).
4. Give the fixtures pan and tilt values - the values do not matter.
5. Press Clear once to clear the fixture selection but keep the pan and tilt values active.
6. Press and hold an empty world in the World Pool until the world is stored.
7. Tap the new world.

Now the fixture sheet lists all the fixtures, but only the pan and tilt columns.

 

As usual, it is really a good idea to name the worlds as soon as they are created.
