Hello.
In Pearl 2008 does not display the patch text.
Use the latest version of libraries.
Thanks.

Hello.
Anyone know because in 2008 no pearl is the text of patch?, use the latest libraries.

Hi Ferran,

Could you please explain a little more?

Hi Emma, thanks for responding.

In Pearl 2000/2004, when a device pach, just before you press the handle to patch, this text is displayed on the LCD:

Mac301w Standard
16bit
Encoder Banks
Wheel A Wheel B
---------------------
1 Dimmer --
2 -- Shutter
3 Tilt Pan
4 Colour CTC
5 Zoom --
6 -- --
7 -- --
8 P/TSpeed EffSpeed
9 -- Blue
10 Red Green
14 PresColo --
20 Control Blackout

In Pearl 2008 is not shown.

Thanks.

Hello,

This file required a technical update and was regenerated from our Personality Builder software. This has reduced the patch text screen to


The reason the wheel information is no longer displayed here is to aid the speed of creation of R20 files for classic Pearl.

Thanks John.
Edit my libraries, and put in the text field:

TEXT
Vari-Lite VL3000
Spot - 28 Channels

But not shown.[code][/code]

This has moved to another location:

- patch as usual (only the DEVICEADDRESS section of the personality will be displayed)
- exit the patch menu
- hit VIEW
- hit [B] Fixture Attributes - this will display the actual Wheel mapping
- hit the select key of the fixture

Note the fixture is in the programmer now. Hit Clear to clear, or hit View to blank the display.

maybe someone else could say whether the TEXT section is displayed at all (Heck, usually no need for it, since the real wheel mapping is displayed now)

Thanks for your response.
This view shows fixtures that have been patching.
Not much problem, but I find it useful to see the attributes before patching.

Thanks.
