Leprecon LP-1600 Series - Manual (Page 11)

A new feature of the LP-1600 is BLOCK PATCH ASSIGNMENT. Instead of
making patch assignments one at a time, entire blocks of dimmers can be
more easily affected.
The number range listed below the word “Dimmer” represents the block of
dimmer circuit(s) being affected by this patch assignment. The number on the
left is the “start” dimmer, while the number on the right is the “end” dimmer
(101 through 105 in the example). Any dimmer range can be selected by
“Wheel-Modifying” either the start or end dimmer field as required.
Next, under the field labeled “Chan”, will appear the number of the board
channel that the block of dimmers is assigned to. To alter this assignment,
locate the cursor under the channel number, hold the Modify button, and turn
the data wheel. When the number is set, and the wheel released, the new value
will be stored in memory.
Finally, the “Val” field is a new feature that attaches a percentage of the
selected channel’s setting to the block of dimmers. For example, if board
channel 24 is at 50%, dimmers 101-105 will be at (.50 * .75 =) 37.5%. Note that
other dimmers may also be using channel 24 as their source, but it is entirely
possible that their “Val” field may be something other than 75%.
When patching is finished, pressing the Run mode button will return the
console to the run mode display, and this is indicated by turning off the green
led above the Setup button.
