[Minus] -
The - key have two main functions.
It can be used for fixture selection and for assigning values.
A third use is to change the executor page.
Fixture selection
Section titled “Fixture selection”E.g. you want to select the fixtures in group five but not fixture number two (a part of group five).
Group 5 - Fixture 2 Please
If you already have selected group five and want to remove fixture two from your selection, you can do this:
- 2 Please
Assigning values
Section titled “Assigning values”The - key can be used to assign a dimmer value lower than the current value - Remember, you can’t go below 0% on the dimmer.
E.g. you have a selection of fixtures at a dimmer value of 50% and you want to lower it 20%. Here’s what you type (you have already selected the fixtures):
At - 2 0 Please
That would do the trick.
There’s a little extra function to the - key. If you press it twice it automatically take 10% off the value. So you could have archived the same by pressing the - key four times.
Absolute value or relative value
Section titled “Absolute value or relative value”The description above is about setting a relative value. You can also set an absolute negative value on attributes like pan and tilt.
The difference between a relative or absolute value is a space between the minus sign and the number.
To set a relative value you could write in the command line at - 5 (execute command by pressing Please). An absolute value would be written at -5 (execute command by pressing Please).
If you want to use the keys, then you can press At - (hold it while you type the value) 5 Please, Holding the minus while typing the value removes the space between the sign and the value.
Using the calculator (you can get this by a short tap on the encoder for the value you want to set) you can tap the +/- button to add the sign without a space. For relative values you can use the - button.
Page selection
Section titled “Page selection”You can use the - key to change the active page. If you want to go to the previous page you can use the following keys:

You can also use calculations. If you are on page five and want to go to page two you could use the following keys:
