Walkthroughs

Walkthroughs help you to step through various parts of Expert the first time you interact with them. After you have created your first project a walkthrough will give you an introductory tour of the user interface.

Walkthroughs can be manually run again from the Home tab, in the Help Center. All walkthroughs can be reset here too, meaning they will appear again if already completed on your computer.

An example walkthrough can be seen below:

Add a Fixture

Step 1 – Click the Add items to the projecttool in the Canvas window.
Step 2 – Then, select Fixtures from the menu.
Step 3 – Next, select a fixture type.
Step 4 – Once you have selected the fixture you require, add the fixture to the canvas.
Step 5 – After adding your fixture(s) to the canvas, click the Finishtool.

Available walkthroughs:

  • Tour the UI: Learn about the main programming areas in the Expert software user interface.

  • Add a fixture: Fixtures form the core of your project, providing channel information and more.

  • Patch a fixture: Patching a fixture tells Expert how to talk to the physical light. Dragging fixtures to the patch will address them in selection order.

  • Add a space: Logically group fixtures by their hierarchical location.

  • Add a tag set: Tags allow you to set what the controller is doing at any given time.

  • Add a Scene: Scenes allow you to create static or dynamic effects for your fixtures.

  • Tag a Scene: Link your Scene to tags for them to start automatically as tags change.

  • Schedule an event: Use the calendar to schedule Scene and tag activations.
