Compu Live III Intermediate programming
4. The X-Y window (pan/tilt)
The X-Y buttons (referred to as TAKE in previous versions of our software) allow mouse control
of the PAN/TILT channels in each fixture within a page. These are very useful when you want to control
a single fixture while a movement sequence is running, or also to create scenes with static positions.
There is one X-Y button for each fixture in the page.
Static position
1. Turn the light beam ON (CENTER or any movement switch)
2. Press the X-Y switch corresponding to the fixture you want to control
3. Move the red arrow to the desired position (notice that the light beam follows this movement)
4. Repeat for all of your fixtures
5. Save a new scene/switch AS YOU SEE NOW
You may have noticed that if you double click on the X-Y button for a fixture, your position will be lost.
The reason is that once the X-Y button is unselected, the position information is lost.
If you want to retrieve that position information, you need to press [Alt] on your keyboard while clicking
on the unselected X-Y button for each fixture.
Retrieving positions
1. Start a movement switch (CIRCLE, TILT, etc)
2. Press the X-Y switch for fixture 1, for example, and move it to a desired fixed position, while the rest
of the fixtures continue their preprogrammed movement
3. Click on the X-Y switch for fixture 1 to unselect it, allowing fixture 1 to continue the preprogrammed
movement
4. Press [Alt] on your keyboard while clicking on the X-Y switch for fixture 1 (notice how pressing [Alt]
makes the light beam go back to the position assigned previously)
