[Plus] + key

The  +  key have two main functions. 

It can be used for fixture selection and for assigning values.

A third use is to change the executor page.

Fixture selection

E.g. you want to select the fixtures in group five and fixture number two (not a part of group five).

Group 5  +  Fixture 2 Please

If you already have selected group five you can do this to add fixture two to your selection:

 +  2 Please

Assigning values

The  +  key can be used to assign a value higher than the current value - Remember, you can't go above 100% on the dimmer.

E.g. you have a selection of fixtures at a dimmer value of 50% and you want to raise it 20%. Here's what you type (you have already selected the fixtures):

At  +  2 0 Please

That would do the trick.

There's a little extra function to the  +  key. If you press it twice it automatically adds 10% to the value. So you could have archived the same by pressing the  +  key four times.

Absolute value or relative value

The description above is about setting a relative value. You can also set an absolute positive value.

The difference between a relative or absolute value is a space between the plus sign and the number.

To set a relative value you could write in the command line at + 5 (execute command by pressing Please). An absolute value would be written at +5 (execute command by pressing Please).

The positive value is usually implied unless you specify differently - so you just need to type at 5 Please.

Using keys you can just press At 5 Please. If you for some reason need to add the plus the you can press At + (hold it while you type the value) 5 Please, Holding the plus while typing the value removes the space between the sign and the value.

Both will set the value at positive 5.

Using the calculator (you can get this by a short tap on the encoder for the value you want to set) you can tap the +/- button to add the sign without a space. For relative values you can use the + button.

Page selection

You can use the  +  key to change the active page. If you want to go to the next page you can use the following keys:

You can also use calculations. If you are on page two and want to go to page five you could use the following keys:

Page  +  3 Please
