Incrementing Parameters in smaller than 1% values

With the advent of LED lighting and better cameras on set I often find myself living in a world where intensities are at super low levels between 1 and 10%.  Often I'm using the Pig+Encoder wheel to finely adjust intensity values between whole percentage points.  It would be nice to see tenths of a percent on these lvls, and to be able to type in fixture 101 @ 0.5% etc...

For higher intensity values tenths seems silly, but when you're working at 10% overall intensity .5% is a large percentage of the overall output.

    Followup, All I can seem to do is Pig+spin Encoder to get values in between percentages, but the GUI doesn't show anything but whole numbers. Also, when I try to syntax my way into this (fix #, @, 0.5%, Enter) it doesn't work.  Although I can achieve these values using fine encoder tweaking, and they record into the cue stack, I would love to see the Console GUI show these exact values, and also be able to set lights at values rounding to the nearest tenth rather than whole number. Tested in 5.x, unless I'm missing something Chris.

  • really? but does the GUI and console syntax support this? or are we guessing using fine+encoder wheel turn? Sorry, I'm away from my console prepping in drawing land so I can't double check, if so this is welcome change!

  • The 4.x and 5.x software allows this :)
