Flexichannel
When you enable Flexichannel, 7 only channels used somewhere in the
show will appear on the display screens, subject to the following rules:
• Flexichannel displays channels whose levels are set, whether
recorded somewhere in the show or not.
• Flexichannel does not display channels whose attributes are changed
unless their levels are also set.
• Flexichannel shows the channels for all fixtures patched in the show.
• Flexichannel shows all channels on link lists.
• Flexichannel shows focus point links, if applicable (see focus point
links to the right of the levels in the illustration below).
By only displaying channels used in the show, you can reduce the amount
of time you spend moving from page to page to find channels. All other
screen elements are unchanged.
Working with Flexichannel active differs from working without
Flexichannel in only one respect, selecting channels. See Selecting
channels in Flexichannel mode, page 61 for more information.
Note: In Tracksheet and Patch modes, channels are highlighted if they
appear in the Flexichannel list; they are grayed out if they do not.
Updating Flexichannel
When channels that were used in a show are removed from the show,
they remain in channel displays until Flexichannel is updated. Press
[Setup] [1] [Enter] [S1], Purge Flexi, to update Flexichannel. This update
follows the same rules for Flexichannel that are given above.
You also update Flexichannel displays when you load another show from
diskette or when you cycle the console’s power off and on.

See Enable / disable Flexichannel, page 31, for information about
