Introduction 5

Syntax Structure

Most instructions can be entered into Ion through the command line. When entering data

into the console, the Ion command line expects instructions to be entered in a specific

structure, or syntax.

Generally speaking, the order of syntax can be described as:

• What are you trying to affect? (Channel, group)

• What do you want it to do? (Change intensity, focus, pan and tilt)

• What value do you want? (Intensity at full, Iris at 50)

Naturally other commands will be used in the course of programming your show, but most

other functions are modifiers of these three basic steps: modifying the channel(s) you are

are working with, determining what parameters of those channels you are impacting, and

what value you want them to assume. When working with record targets, the syntax is

similar.

Enter

Since the command line can receive multiple edits and instructions at once, it is necessary

to let Ion know when you have completed your instruction in the command line. This is done

with the “Enter” key.

There are some commands which are self-terminating, and therefore do not require “Enter”

to be pressed. Some (but not all) of these commands are:

•Out

•+%

•-%

• Level

• Actions from the direct selects

Parameters and Parameter Categories

Ion divides fixture parameters into four major parameter categories: Intensity, Focus, Color, and

Beam. These are the parameters in each category:

• Intensity . . . . . . . . . . Intensity

• Focus . . . . . . . . . . . . Pan and Tilt

• Color. . . . . . . . . . . . . All color parameters (such as color wheel, CMY, scrollers, and

so on).

• Beam . . . . . . . . . . . . Any parameter not covered in the other categories.

Note:

Not all actions on Ion must be entered from the command line, although many will

result in a command line instruction. Other actions bypass the command line

entirely.
