Multiple Channel Wish List

[michaelk]

I'd like to add an item to the Spotlight wish list:

There is no good way to handle units that have more than one control channel.

For example, when you use the symbol for a High End Systems AF1000 DataFlash you can give it a channel and dimmer for the first control channel (Intensity), but the only way I can figure out to make the Duration and Rate appear in the hook up is to create accessories called Duration and Rate whose symbols are just 2D short lines or small circles so they can be hidden on the DataFlash symbol.

Has anyone else found a better way?

Agreed, though some of us are lucky enough to use Lightwright for the hookup/paperwork portion, with LW able to deal with multiple channels per device.

One suggestion for the plot would be to configure a separate label legend for non-"Light" devices - ML's, scrollers, etc... that has a specially configured oval circle (container) to contain the range of channels numbers and a "Dim Box" container to deal with the circuit that provides power, if it has a number.
