Colored indicators come in the form of a bar or a thin line. Colored indicators appear in:
- Fixture Sheet
- Sequence Sheet with the Track Sheet option enabled or disabled
- Feature Group Control Bar
- Attribute encoder display
The name column in the Fixture Sheet and the Sequence Sheet, the Feature Group Control Bar, and the attribute encoders, show color-coded indicators for values, individual timing, and phasers in the programmer. Attribute columns in the fixture sheet show colored indicators indicating values, individual timing, and phasers either in the programmer or currently outputting from a sequence. Attribute columns in the sequence sheet show indicators for values, individual timing, and phasers stored within the displayed cues.
The feature group control bar appears along the top of the encoder bar. The default feature group control bar can include features such as Dimmer, Position, and Color.
Learn more in the Default Feature Group Control Bar.
