Exporting PRG Vx76 Data

It is possible to export data from the PRG Vx76 consoles (V276, V476 and V676) as an XML file. Vx76 Software version 4.2 onwards supports this feature.

Exporting from Vx76 Software version 4.2.

To export the XML data for the current show file:

1. Choose the ‘Export XML…’ from the File menu of the Vx76 application.

2. A file dialog will open where you need to name and decide where to save the XML file.

The progress of the export will be displayed on the centre screen of the main face panel (or panel server if you are running the software not connected to a face panel). Note that large shows can take quite a while to perform the XML export as all the data will be exported.

Exporting from Vx76 Software version 4.3 onwards

It is possible to use the File menu ‘Export XML…’ method as described above, but it is also possible to do it from the central touch screen, or through the ‘Show File Manager window’ with the advantage that you can choose what data is included in the export.

To export the XML data for the current show file:

1. On the central touch screen, touch the Utilities button (or open the ‘Show File Manager window’ from the File menu).

2. If using the central touch screen, you will then need to touch the XML Export tab at the top of the screen.

Vx76 All Export

*Generally it is a good idea to use the ‘all’ mode and to ensure all the data checkboxes are checked. If you only wish to export a particular type of data, you can uncheck the data you do not want to export.

3. Click the Export XML button.

4. A screen will come up to allow you to name the export XML file. Press the Enter key when done.

The progress of the export will be displayed on the centre screen of the main face panel (or Panel Server if you are running the software not connected to a face panel).

5. You will find the file in the user’s ‘Documents’ folder.

!Exports from large intensity mode show files can get very large (multi gigabyte) which will take a long time to export as well as a long time to import into Moving Light Assistant. It might be better to only export what is needed.

Exporting Selectively

This is only applicable for Vx76 Software version v4.3 onwards.

By touching the selective export button will change the window so that you can choose a data type and range for the exported data to an xml file.

Vx76 Selective XML Export

You can choose the export data type from the menu that pops up when you touch the box next to ‘export’. Then enter a range on the ‘from’ and ‘to’ textfields.

*If exporting separate XML files for data, you will need as a minimum to export the patch data and import this into Moving Light Assistant before any other separate XML files are imported.
