Selecting Channels by Range with the Mouse

[NPhillips]

When selecting channels with the mouse, clicking on each channel selects channels additive (as it should). Although, let us say, clicking channel 12, then [thru], and clicking channel 18, as if to select a range does nothing. Keying [1][8][enter] then selects the desired range (as [thru] has been keyed following channel 12 being clicked active in the command line). The beginning of the range maybe selected with the mouse, but the end of the range must be keyed.

Illusion Reference No 4240 - Selecting a range of channels using the mouse - to be reviewed.

 

This function has been mentioned before but with a different solution to the one you suggested :roll:

 

What you suggest sounds reasonable and it would appear that the problem is due to the way that the channel selection with the mouse is translated into commands and the subsequent processing of the command line.

 

Clicking on a channel with the mouse appears to generate the command AND CHANNEL X (which is necessary for the additive selection of channels).

 

However, clicking on channel 1, selecting THRU and clicking on channel 10 will generate the following commands:

 

AND CHANNEL 1 THRU AND CHANNEL 10

 

The software is expecting a channel number after the thru and therefore does not process the last part of the command.

 

I am not sure what the solution is at the moment but I agree there should be a method of selecting a range of channels with the mouse (see Ref above).
