position. When the operator touches the "Done" key, the targets will be
updated accordingly. On the 3-D display, the set name will appear in
bold letters on the green wire-frame icon indicating the specified target
position, while the current position of the set will be indicated by a solid
blue icon.
If the set is variable speed, the operator may use the procedures outlined
previously to change the velocity for the move. Once these settings have
been selected, the operator pushes and holds the active GO TARGET
button to run the set to the target, as described in other sections of this
manual. Oh, yes - WTP!
CURRENT POSITION AS TARGET - SHORTCUT
The following procedure is used to run sets in deadman mode, and then return them to their starting positions.
This feature can be very useful for bringing in an electric set to adjust a lamp, then returning it to its original
trim.
Using the 3-D display, select a set (or sets) for operation by touching the graphic corresponding to the set on
the touchscreen. The set label will change from white to green to indicate that it has been selected. A
position display will also appear in the upper left portion of the screen.
The operator can set the current position of the selected set(s) as target by touching the Match
Current button in the Vertical Position window. This will assure that the current position of the
selected set is the target for a move. The operator now uses the deadman Up or Down console
pushbuttons to drive the set(s) to the desired position. When the required adjustments are
finished, the operator uses the active GO TARGET button (violet or yellow) to move the set(s) back to trim.
By the way, did I say Watch the Piece?
DISPLAY VIEW
QUICK VIEWPOINT CHANGE
As noted above, the default view of the stage is from the operator's position. There are a couple
of ways to change the view displayed in the 3-D window of the main screen. The first is to use
the "Eyeball" icon at the lower right of the screen.
Touching this icon will open a viewpoint window in the status pane
at the right of the screen. The Views tab on this menu shows the
names of preset views of the stage. .
