Repeating numbers

[sicole]

We have v2.15 Leapfrog 48/96

 

Noticed last night as I was editing memories that if you wanted to change an intensity to say 55, you cannot type in 55 using the MFKs. Have not tried with keyboard though. It is the same for any number 11 - 99, although tempo times for chases allow you to do it. Also, in the memory stack, you cannot input step 55 or 44 or 33 etc it does not like repeating numbers.

 

Just thought I would share that with you!

I don't seem to have any problem entering repeating digits for fixture number or channel levels using the command line method (Numeric keypad on Special Page 2 on the MFKs).

 

Were you using the command line syntax or just entering the channel value directly in the Program Window ?

 

However, in other circumstances (eg on the Memories screen with the cursor on the memory number, press ENTER, enter required memory number then press ENTER), it would appear that if you press a single digit MFK twice in quick succession it does not pick up the second digit. However, if you wait for the flashing cursor to move onto the next character, it appears that you can enter numbers such as 11, 22, 33 etc. The delay in moving the cursor onto the next character seems to be around 2-3 seconds which does seem rather excessive.

At the time I was entering the channel value direct into the program window.

 

The delay time is correct (about 2-3 seconds) I just should be more patient, but when you against the clock every second counts! Perhaps this could be an option in the Setup part of the LeapFrog rather than a hard and fast delay time as different people operate in different ways.

 

Thanks

As each MFK only contains a single character (digit) this delay is unecessary and should be removed (Ref. LF-1968)
