Express problem Fri 2/7/20...

[ecpn]

It's been years since I had to program an Express, so I must have forgotten something...but I have this small problem: In Patch, I have entered the dimmer and then the desired channel, but when the screen flips to the newly joined dimmer and channel, there is a different color number 10 under the patch setup. And I cannot get light out of that channel, but yet I get it when I do a Dimmer check. \

What did I forget to do? How do I change it to be 'normal'. And I can't do a new 1 to 1 patch because it's not my house and I don't want to reset anything that I shouldn't.

Thanks.

It's been a while since I've used tg he Express, but that number refers to either a level assigned to the dimmer, or a profile.

Try (dimmer) (at) (channel) (at) (enter) to clear the level, or (dimmer) (enter) (soft key 6) to select the profile.

ETC phone support is AMAZING, and if you get online to post, you can also download a manual or cheat sheet from their website.

IIRC, Don't use <at>, unless you want to do a proportional patch. For normal patch, <dimmer#> <Enter> <channel#> <Enter>.

As someone who had to relearn this recently: you do recall correctly. Dimmer x <at> 10 <enter> sets a proportional level for that dimmer. To reset it, Dimmer # <at> <Full> is your friend (not <at> <enter> as it would be on an Eos family desk).

It's amazing how hard it is to reset muscle memory back to Express syntax after not using one for close to a decade. Used to be able to do nearly anything with my eyes closed, and now it feels like half my brain is missing when I sit down in front of one.

I once called tech support because I forgot about Release Release!

Thanks. I did this yesterday and it worked. Yes, I had just forgotten how to ride a tricycle in a racing bike world. When that pesky number disappeared from the screen, I said 'sumbeetch'. Thanks again
