Analog Input

So I am looking to built a light switch that is going to be installed into a set. I want to use the analog input on the ION so that when the actor flips the switch the desk fires a cue. If I am understanding the maual, for the latest releace, all I need to do is short pins 1 and 2 on the analog input D-sub. And then set up my event in the event list. Is this correct? And what are the Master 40 pins used for?

Any help or clarification on the analog input portion of the ION woudl be greatly apreceated.

  • You'll want to put the switch between pins 1 and 15 - basically, if the desk sees 12V input on pin 1, it triggers. Pin 15 can supply that 12V.

    You should also short pins 2 and 12 (Ground) together.

    You should NOT short pin 15 (12V) to the chassis, as we found out yesterday.

    In the Show Control display, create a list 1 that is external, analog, and typically Source 1 (assuming that you haven't changed this in the shell). Then create an event 1/1 that triggers a macro. That macro should be GO.

    Hope that makes sense?
