grandMA3 User Manual » Command Syntax and Keywords » Option Keywords » /Look
Version 2.5

To enter the /Look option keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

  • Type /Look
  • Type the shortcut /L

Description

The /Look option keyword stores all dimmer values of all fixtures in the show. 

If the dimmer value of a fixture is zero, the /Look option keyword only stores dimmer values of the fixture as there is no visible output onstage. 

If the dimmer value of a fixture is above zero, the /Look option keyword stores the values of all attributes of the fixture.

Syntax

[Function] [Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number] /Look

General Keywords

General keywords that use the /Look option keyword:

Hint:
The /Look option keyword can be used together with the /All option keyword or the /AllForSelected option keyword.

Examples

  • To store all dimmer values and all attributes in fixtures, with dimmer open in cue 1, type:
User name[Fixture]>Store Cue 1 /Look 

 

  • To store the dimmer values and all active attributes of the selected fixtures in the programmer to the second preset in the first All preset pool, type:
User name[Fixture]>Store Preset 21.2 /AllForSelected /Look 
​​
Hint:
If you use SetUserVariable or SetGlobalVariable in combiniation with /Look, the proper value of the UI will be used in the variable. Whereas, using SetUserVariable and SetGlobalVariable without /Look, will use the internal represantion of the value, for example in form of numbers. 

Example with and without /Look

  • To set the user variable "mySeqPrioName" to the priority LTP of sequence 42, type:
User name[Fixture]>SetUserVariable "mySeqPrioName" At Sequence 42 Property "Priority" /Look

  • To set user variable "mySeqPrioNumber" to priority 6, which is LTP, of sequence 42, type:
User name[Fixture]>SetUserVariable "mySeqPrioName" At Sequence 42 Property "Priority"
