Frog Release Notes (73-755-00) Issue 10.9 – December 2007 Page 11 of 16

Appendix 3 – Release 10.0

11. Partial Programming (Frog Ref Nos 5402, 5435)

When the programming mode is set to Partial in Desk Setup, the desk will now program down to

individual parameter (channel) level.

The function of the Wheel Group button has been substantially altered from previous versions of

software and now operates more like a Shift button. It may be useful to affix a label next to the

button on desks running this software to indicate the change in function.

In these release notes, the following terminology is used:

o Parameter – a single fixture function (eg. Cyan, Gobo, Focus, Pan, Tilt etc)

o Attribute – a set of associated parameters (eg. Colour, Beamshape or Position).

o Fixture – a unit controlled by a set of attributes.

11.1 Desk Setup

When the desk is set up in Partial Mode - There are three additional options under Program Mode

to allow parameters to be auto-tagged by attribute (Colour, Beamshape or Position) or individually.

The default settings are Colour: All, Beamshape: Channel and Position: All.

If the option is set to ‘All’ adjusting a parameter will automatically tag all parameters in that

attribute for the selected fixtures. For example, if Colour is set to ‘All’ – adjusting Cyan, Magenta,

Yellow or a colour wheel will automatically tag all the Colour parameters for the selected fixtures.

In Position adjusting Pan, Tilt or any of the movement effect parameters will tag all Position and

movement effect parameters.

If the option is set to ‘Channel’ adjusting a parameter will tag that parameter only. For example, if

Beamshape is set to ‘Channel’ – adjusting a Gobo, Focus, Shutter etc will just tag the adjusted

parameter.

These settings do not affect the un-tagging capability of the Wheel Group button (see later).

11.2 Wheel Groups

The Colour, Beamshape and Position buttons are now used to cycle the wheel groups, whereas

before this was achieved using the Wheel Group button.

The LEDs in the Colour, Beamshape and Position buttons will flash to indicate that more wheel

groups are available. Previously this was indicated by the LED in the Wheel Group button.

Note - To access the wheel editing mode for an attribute, the Colour, Beamshape or Position

buttons must now be held for >1 second.
