You can store or delete remote input types and set parameters. ## Syntax \[Function] Remote \["RemoteInputType\_Name" or RemoteInputType\_Number].\["Remote\_Name" or Remote\_Number] (Property \["Property\_Name"] \["Property\_Value"]) Assign \[Object] \["Object\_Name" or Object\_Number] At Remote **\["RemoteInputType\_Name" or RemoteInputType\_Number].\["Remote\_Name" or Remote\_Number] (Property \["Property\_Name"] \["Property\_Value"])** The following table displays the available remote input types and their remote input type IDs. | Remote Input Type | Remote Input Type ID | | ----------------- | -------------------- | | DC Remote | 1 | | MIDI Remote | 2 | | DMX Remote | 3 | The IDs in the input type have to be in an order and have to start with 1. ## Properties The following table displays the properties you can set using the command line with the help of the [Set Keyword](/grandma3/2-3/keyword_set/). | | | | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/tip_gray-269535.png) | **Hint:** | | | If an option or any other part of the keyword command requires two quotation marks, the outer quotation marks are "+" and the inner quotation marks are '+'. | | Property | Property Value | Description | | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Lock | "Yes", "No" | Sets the lock status. | | Name | "This is the name of the remote" | Sets the name of the remote. | | Target | "World", "Sequence", "Macro", "Group", "Plugin", "View", "Master" | Sets the target of the action when the contact is active. | | Fader | "Master", "X", "Temp", and all the fader functions. | Sets the fader the console should activate. | | Key | "Fix", "Select", "SelFix", and all the key functions. | Sets the key the console should activate. | | TriggerOn | "0%...100%" | Sets the value at which the trigger will be set to on. | | TriggerOff | "0%...100%" | Sets the value at wich the trigger will be set to off. | | InFrom | "0%...100%" | Sets the starting point of the range of the incoming signal in use. | | InTo | "0%...100%" | Sets the end point of the range of the incoming signal in use. | | OutFrom | "0%...100%" | Sets the starting point of the range of the outgoing signal in use. | | OutTo | "0%...100%" | Sets the end point of the range of the outgoing signal in use. | | Enabled | "Yes", "No" | Sets the status to enabled or not enabled. | | **Only for DMX remotes:** Address | 1.001...1024.512 \[universe].\[dmx address] | Sets the DMX universe and address. | | **Only for DMX remotes:** Resolution | "8bit", "16bit", "24bit" | Sets the DMX resolution. For 16 bit and 24 bit, the DMX channels have to be consecutive. | | **Only for MIDI remotes:** MIDIChannel | "1, 2, 3, ..., 16" | Sets the MIDI channel. | | **Only for MIDI remotes:** MIDIIndex | "1, 2, 3, ..., 128" | Sets the MIDI index. | | **Only for MIDI remotes:** MIDIType | "Note", "NoteAttack", "NoteAttackDecay", "Control" | Sets the MIDI type. Note = MIDI note only NoteAttack = MIDI note and uses the velocity to regulate the master except note off NoteAttackDecay = MIDI note and uses the velocity to regulate the master with note off Control = Control change (CC) messages. | | **Only for DC remotes:** DC start signal | "1, 2, 3, ..., 64" | Sets the DC start signal. | The start signal and the MIDI offset of the desired input console for [DC Remotes](/grandma3/2-3/remote_inputs_dc/) and [MIDI Remotes](/grandma3/2-3/remote_inputs_midi/) have to be set in the [Output Configuration Menu](/grandma3/2-3/dmx_port_config/).  Examples - To set the key of the first DMX remote to Go+, type: | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_commandline-input_logo_v2-0-59d23e.png) | User name\[Fixture]>Set Remote 3.1 "Key" "Go+"  |   - To store a new MIDI remote, type: | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- | | ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_commandline-input_logo_v2-0-59d23e.png) | User name\[Fixture]>Store Remote 2.1  |   - To assign sequence 2 to the second DMX remote, type: | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_commandline-input_logo_v2-0-59d23e.png) | User name\[Fixture]>Assign Sequence 2 At Remote "DMXRemotes".2  |
