Instrument Maintenance ​

Some options only exist on a per-Maintenance List basis. The above image is only most of the options. Another picture with more options is placed below.

  • Stock Quantity-- if you are working with a House Inventory, this is where you can inform Lightwright of those counts.

  • DMX Footprint-- this field will auto-populate if you choose a Profile in the next column. If the Profile isn't in the library yet, it's very helpful for address error checking to fill in this value.

  • Mode-- once you have chosen a Profile, there is a pull down menu here of the modes you may choose from.

  • Load-- once your Profile is assigned, this is autopopulated. If no Profile is available, you can fill this value in yourself.

  • Weight- a place to manually fill in the weight for your Instrument.

  • Gobo Size, Color Frame, Frame Count-- places with pull down menus of choices.

  • Symbol-- directly connected to Vectorworks, this item allows you to change which symbol is being used in Vectorworks.

  • On Plot-- There may be time you want to add data to a synchronized file that you don't wish to push to Vectorworks. Deselecting On Plot allows you to do that.

  • Device Type-- Choose from the pull-down options of Device Type.

  • Note-- Add a note to your Instrument or Device.
