Creating instrument summaries
Statistics on the lighting devices and accessories used in the light plot help with event organization. Instrument summaries can be created for all the lighting devices (see Creating an instrument summary), and/or for specific hanging positions (see Creating an instrument summary for a hanging position). The summary, which can be custom formatted, can show the symbol thumbnail and name, the number of each kind of lighting device and accessory in use, and the total counts. You can add special elements like notes, column breaks, circuit summaries, typical label legend layout, and other items. Counting can be subtotaled to count lighting device bodies and lenses. Symbols which have the same instrument type are counted together, allowing for alternate versions of a single type. The summary can compare its information to the current inventory so that the designer can determine how many lighting devices remain in the inventory, or whether more lighting devices have been specified than are currently present in the inventory.
