Editing this file is easy, just change the ATC Page number, name or attribute number that the appropriate
device is controlling. If you look at the one that has been highlighted, 53 is the Attribute Map number and
since this is within the range of 51 through 56, it shows up on the softkeys when the center teal key is
pressed. I have named it CMY because it assigns Frost, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to the White, Blue,
Red (or orange) and Purple encoders in that order.
Create as many ATC Pages as you need. You’ll probably notice that many ATC Pages already exist in
your file. Some are specific to fixtures where some are generic to attribute groupings. You can also
delete ones that you don’t use. That is something that I do. I don’t want to use the right and left teal keys
and page thru a bunch of ATC Pages that I never use. Just use the Cut Line, Copy Line and Paste Line
soft keys to help in editing. Just remember to press Save File when you are done. If you forget to…don’t
worry. It automatically saves. I like to do it so that it I see the console fix any formatting issues.
Attribute Filters
The attribute filters allow the flexibility of filtering out information for recording of preset focus groups.
When you press the @ATT key, the attribute filters show up on your softkeys.
@ATT
Attribute filters F1 thru F6 appear on your softkeys. If you need more, attribute filters F7 thru F10 are
available on the 520i. They are your center 4 teal keys. Just watch the screen menus. Attribute filters F7
thru F12 are available on the 530i and 550i on your center grouping of teal keys.
