Manual 3.1 OSC changes

Question

The changes in OSC made in 3.1 are not documented. This should done in the next revision, or a separate manual for Show Control.

We did add some OSC content for v3.1.0, but you are correct that other content is missing. Our apologies for that - we will try to get it included for v3.1.1.

New documentation for v3.1.0:

- XYZ Coordinates: https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/EosFamilyOnlineHelp/en-us/Default.htm#32_Show_Control/10_Open_Sound_Control_(OSC)/Supported_OSC_Input/OSC_XYZ.htm

(for example, if Chan 1 is a moving light,

/eos/chan/1/xyz=1,2,3

Sets channel 1 to aim at position X=1m, Y=2m, Z=3m)

- staging mode: https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/EosFamilyOnlineHelp/en-us/Default.htm#32_Show_Control/10_Open_Sound_Control_(OSC)/Supported_OSC_Input/OSC_Staging_Mode.htm

- dedicated third-party TCP server port 3037: https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/EosFamilyOnlineHelp/en-us/Default.htm#31_Eos_Configuration_Utility/03_Network_Settings/Interface_Protocols.htm

- use of “=” to denote ETC-specific arguments : https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/EosFamilyOnlineHelp/en-us/Default.htm#32_Show_Control/10_Open_Sound_Control_(OSC)/Using_OSC.htm

Other new things that didn't make it to documentation.

- normalized fader levels (EOS-51565): Faders are now always 0.0 - 1.0 where 0.0 is min and 1.0 is max. So, a Global FX Fader may have a range of 0-200%: sending that fader to 0.75 gives a 150% output.

- OSC Get/Patch for Augment3d data (EOS-50738):

/Get Augment3d Information:

/eos/get/patch/<chan>/<part>/augment3d/position
- Returns index, UUID, position x, position y, position z, orientation x, orientation y, orientation z, fpe set number
/eos/get/patch/<chan>/<part>/augment3d/beam
- Returns index, UUID, beam angle, gel color, number of shutters, {thrust of shutter, angle of shutter} x N shutters (currently 4 times), gobo (UUID), gobo description (same as what's shown in Patch), gobo rotation, hide beam status

(These commands can return an FPE set of -1 at the end of the /position string; means no FPE set is not assigned.)

/Set Fixture Position:

/eos/set/patch/<chan>/augment3d/position=<1.0,2.0,.3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0>
/eos/set/patch/<chan>/<part>/augment3d/position=<1.0,2.0,.3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0>

(Six Arguments= pos_x, pos_y, pos_z, orientation_x, orientation_y, orientation_z)

(Separated by Commas and No Spaces)

/Get FPE information:

/eos/get/fpe/count
Returns int value with number of fpe sets
/eos/get/fpe/<set>
Returns the label of the set, size of the set (number of points)
/eos/get/fpe/<set>/count
Returns int value with number of points in the set
/eos/get/fpe/<set>/<point>
Returns label of the set, focus palette number, x, y, z positions

(FPE set of -1; means no FPE set is assigned.)
