UI Overview

The ControlGo device has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to control and navigate its functions. It features a touchscreen and several buttons, each with its own specific use. Here’s a breakdown of the main buttons and where they are located:

UI Overview

Group Buttons: These buttons are located above the display. They let you select and manage up to four groups of lights. The button on the far left also works as the Back/Esc button to go back to the previous menu.

Info Button: This button is on the left side and opens the DMX output view. It provides more information about what’s currently happening with your lights.

Show Tools Button: This button is on the left side of the display. It provides quick access to snapshots, sequences, and other commonly used lighting presets. This makes it easier to set up or adjust scenes during live events.

Enter Button: This button is on the right side. It lets you confirm your selections or enter different modes.

Arrow Buttons: These are positioned on the right side and make it easy to navigate through the menus.

Gear Button: This button is on the left side and is used for accessing settings and configuration options.

Each of these buttons can have different functions depending on which screen or mode you’re in, making it easy to adapt ControlGo to what you need at the time.

Home Screen

The home screen on the ControlGo device gives you quick access to all the main functions through the touchscreen. Here’s what you can find on the home screen:

IconDescription
RemoteRemote UI: Lets you see and control the screen of any compatible fixtures, just like if you were at the fixture itself. This is great when you need to make adjustments from a distance.
FixtureFixture Control: Manage and control all connected lights. This is where you can make detailed adjustments to individual fixtures.
DMX512DMX512 Control: Use this section to control individual DMX channels from 1 to 512. This is helpful when you don’t have fixture files available but still need to make precise adjustments to the lighting.
RecorderDMX Recorder: Record and play back DMX signals. You can capture sequences of lights and play them back later, which is perfect for repeated scenes or events.
CRMXCRMX Settings: Set up wireless DMX with the built-in LumenRadio module. It supports CRMX and W-DMX (G3 and G4S) protocols, which lets you control lights without needing cables.
RDMRDM Tools: Use Remote Device Management (RDM) to set up and manage fixtures. This feature works for both cable-connected and wireless fixtures, letting you make changes without physically accessing the fixtures.
SettingsSettings: Access all the device settings, like screen brightness and other preferences. This helps make sure the ControlGo works the way you need it to.
ShowShow Library: Manage and load saved lighting shows. You can save, organize, and easily switch between different shows whenever you need them.

At the bottom left of the screen, you’ll see the current date and time. In the middle bottom, there is the CRMX connection status, and at the bottom right, you can find the installed firmware version.

This home screen layout makes it easy to move between different functions and gives lighting technicians everything they need to manage their setups quickly and effectively.
