How To Print Your Light-O-Rama Channel Configuration in a Non-Sucky Manner

October 15, 2007

I updated the utility to display LOR units in Hex format. This will be the last update to this utility since LOR-II will include its functionality directly. Just download the new version from the same old link below.

Posted another minor update (version 1.0.0.8) that fixed a problem with units/channels numbered 17. Also, when you print the

report, it now prints the file name at the top of each page in the header. You're welcome.

I just posted a minor update that will allow you to drag and drop LCC files onto the app. You can also just double-click them in the Windows Explorer and it will open them automatically. Also made a few other 'enhancements'.  (It was a slow work day.)

Since there's no easy way to get a printout of your LOR channels, I've created a little utility that you can download and use for FREE! The link to the download is at the bottom of this page, but first, here's how you use it.

Note: these instructions are OUT OF DATE and the app doesn't really look like this anymore (there's more stuff.) This is just to help you get started; I think you'll be able to figure it out!

Step 4

Step 5

After installing the utility, there will be a shortcut to it on your Start Menu. Just click it and you'll see the main form. (There's only one form.)

Click the "Open" button (the yellow folder icon) and you'll be prompted to select the LCC file you want to open. It defaults to the C:\Program Files\Light-O-Rama\Sequences folder.

Like magic, your channels are displayed along with your unit and channel IDs and Device type. There's also a column for you to enter notes for each channel.

You may group the display by any column you want by dragging the column header into the area above the grid.

You may also change the order of the columns (or remove them altogether) by dragging them.

Once you have everything the way you like it, click the Print button to print the listing.

If you want to keep a copy for future reference, click the save button and it will be saved in a tab-delimited text file that you can import into Excel.

Download the NEW utility from this link: Chuck's LOR Utility Installer.

Note: If you have trouble with the installer, try downloading the zip file and just extracting the EXE to your desktop or something. (It doesn't need to be anywhere special.)

This many people think Light-O-Rama should have included this feature in the software in the first place:
