General

The Preset is a register that enables you to store destination setups, “looks,” to memory, and to recall them.

A Save from PVW button to create a new Preset from selected Destination(s) in Preview.

Complete vs Relative

The “Complete” and “Relative” radio buttons do not affect the recall process; they are used only during the save process.

• To save a “Complete” preset, make sure the “Complete” radio button is selected, arm the Destinations to be part of the Preset and press the “Save from PVW” or “Save from PGM” button. A “Complete” Preset is marked with a “C” in the Presets list.
• To save a “Relative” preset, make sure the “Relative” radio button is selected, arm the Destinations to be part of the Preset, hide/show the Background/Layers in the destinations and then press the “Save from PVW” or “Save from PGM” button. A “Relative” Preset is marked with an “R” in the Presets list.

When a “Complete“ Preset is recalled, all Layers of the chosen Destinations are affected. When a “Relative” Preset is recalled, normal layers are affected, but hidden Layers are not affected.

To hide a Layer, select the Layer in the Programming Diagram area of the Workspace, then select Hide in the Layer Modification area of the workspace. See Image 6–96.

A Layer can also be hidden using the Hide icon in the Programming > Adjust > Layer configuration menu. See “Programming Menu > Adjustment area > Layer configuration”.

A hidden Layer shows a “hidden” symbol in the lower right-hand corner of the Layer. See Image 6–97.

Save From PVW

Saves the current look on Preview into a new Preset. Only Destinations that are active or selected will be saved. For example: There are 3 Destinations. User enables Dest1 and Dest 3 and presses “Save to new Preset.” Only Dest1 and Dest3 looks are stored. Dest 2 is not part of this Preset.

Save From PGM

Saves the current look on PROGRAM into a new Preset. Only Destinations that are active or selected will be saved. For example: There are 3 Destinations. User enables Dest1 and Dest 3 and presses “Save to new Preset.” Only Dest1 and Dest3 looks are stored. Dest 2is not part of this Preset.

Overwrite From PVW

This button allows the override of a selected, unlocked Preset from the Preview, if the destination is active. The name of the preset is not updated, unless the Creation Option is set to "Rename" or "Rename-Lock."

Overwrite From PGM

This button allows the override of a selected, unlocked Preset from the Program, if the destination is active. The name of the preset is not updated, unless the Creation Option is set to "Rename" or "Rename-Lock."

Delete Preset(s)

By pressing this button, the delete “x” marks will appear next to all presets. Select the presets you like to delete and then press the red “Delete Selected” button.

Search edit box

Search Presets by characters in names. A list of the presets will be filtered according to the search criteria. List is restored to normal once search box is cleared.

Search Number (# icon)

Search Preset by number, User types the number of the preset wanted and this preset will be instantly selected ready for recall.

Recall buttons

They are not enabled unless a Preset is selected from the list.

1. Recall Previous button: Recalls the Previous preset. This button is inactive if Preset1 is selected.
2. Recall Selected button: Recalls the currently selected Preset.
3. Recall Next button: Recalls the next preset. This button is inactive if the last preset in the list is selected.

Preset To PVW / Preset To PGM

Pressing this button toggles between recalling Presets to Preview (see Image 6–98) or directly to Program (see Image 6–99). The functions of recall buttons are the same in either case, but Presets recalled to Program automatically transition to Program as soon as they are ready to go. This also applies to presets that are drag-and-dropped onto the Programming workspace.
