New Features
|
Instrument Mapping
Instrument Mapping compliment the shortcut feature introduced in version 1.2 by allowing you
to specify names for instruments that LPS will recognize and associated with instruments in
its library. You can have LPS recognize 'S436' as 'Source Four 36' for example. Your paperwork
will display S436, but LPS will associate this with the Source Four 36 in its library. This
lets you display the instruments how you want them to be displayed.

Navigation & Instrument Properties Windows
The Navigation and Instrument Properties windows can now be closed if they are not
needed. In addition these windows are also tear-offs and can now be positioned anywhere
on the screen, or on a different screen.
|
Column Definitions
All columns can now have their data type defined. This allows you to specify what type
of data a column will hold. The options are String, Numeric, Alpha-Numeric and Decimal.
The chosen option affects how that column sorts its data and what type of data that column
will accept.
|
Improved Printing Options
LPS continues to improve its printing capabilities with the addition of Headers; worksheets;
and divider lines. These let you customize your printed paperwork more than ever before.
|
Printing Instruments
You can now print out the instruments used in your shows along with their images. This
print out if as customizable as the main paperwork printing options.
|
Improved Mirroring
The Mirroring functionality has been improved. You can now specify if instruments should
be mirrored around the center or the pipe, or from one end to the other. Instrument
purposes are now intelligently renamed, based upon your preferences. SL can be changed
to SR where appropriate. This will not change occurances of 'SL' inside other words, so
the word 'slow' would not become 'srow'.
|
Stock Inventory Expanded
Stock inventory can now contain any type of item. You can specify whether the item is a
color, template, instrument, or anything else you would like. You can display the stock
inventory by category, print it by category, making it far easier to track what you have
in stock. Stock inventory can also be printed with all the options available when printing
paperwork.

Ellipsoidal Real Time Photometrics
The photometrics display in the unit type wizard now displays the photometrics for any display
from an ellipsoidal unit. SImply drag the photometrics line to the desired distance to see
the footcandles (or lux) and diameter at that distance.
|
Cyc Light Photometrics
The Unit Type Wizard now displays photometrics for cyc units in a more appropriate manner.
This gives you a better idea for the wash you will get when using these instruments.
|
LPS File Speed/Sizes
The format and size of the LPS files, for lightplots, colors, templates and instruments has
been reworked for better speed and smaller file sizes. The result is a file that is 40% smaller
than in version 1.2, and much quicker to parse for find information.
|
Layout Editor
The Layout Editor has been improved to be more efficient, and to allow you to specify the order
of the layouts in the drop down. This way you can place the laouts you use most at the top of
the drop down.
|

download the demo all you need is a registration number and you will then have the full version
available.
