Well, I just lost my first attempt at this post into the ether. Here's my second attempt.
I'm starting to program my first show after installing 1.3.0, and I've got a few questions dealing with scrollers. Not sure this shouldn't be on a thread somewhere else, but I'm still new to the forum so bear with me...
First, is there a way to edit the text that shows up on the encoder touch screen for the scroller strings? For example, I don't really need to know that my scroller is in 'skelton exotic sangria', especially since that doesn't all fit in the space available, and it doesn't wrap. That means I see 'kelton exotic sang' with half the 'k' cut off. Ultimately, I'd like there to be a way for me to edit what shows up in that space for each frame, and I don't see one so far. It would be more useful, for me at least, to see a frame number and/or the color number (Fr 30 - R39) instead.
Also, is there a way to invert the scroller values specifically? We're using Revolutions with different strings, and one of the strings we've had around forever. Unfortunately, it's backwards. The strings were either built backwards, or installed backwards every time they have been used. On our old O2, this is a quick fix. Just profile the channel for the scrollers so that full and out are reversed, and that's that. I'm not finding a similar way to resolve the situation on the Eos. For programming, I'll just be using color palettes, and I suppose I could just build a new string in the board, not to mention getting the strings reversed physically in the fixtures, but I feel there must be a simple fix in the board for this that I'm not seeing.
Finally, I discovered this morning that when the manual says "It is recommended that you use the patch by channel display when working with moving lights or other multi-parameter devices." they ain't kidding. I spent ten minutes frantically looking through the manual and trying to figure out why I couldn't select a string for the scrollers I was patching. Apparently, you can only do this in patch by channel view. You just get an error if you try it in address view. Not sure if this is a designed behavior, or if I found a bug, but there it is.
