Is there a way to disable the REM/DIM function on the ION console? It gets awkward (and dark) on set when that button gets pressed by mistake.
Thanks

You can set your rem dim level from the CIA under setup, desk settings, manual control that way you don't go into total darkness.

And if you set RemDim to 100, you will essentially disable it.

The problem with bumping everthing to full is that creates a massive load with 20k's and 10k's bumping from lower levels. I was hoping that there was a way to disable this function or move the key a little further from the OUT button.
That would indeed be bad! Fortunately, only levels above the RemDim level will go to that level. As a result, if it is set to 100, nothing will be affected.
You could still RemDim from the command line - [5] [Full] [RemDim] [0] [Enter] for example.
Well, if it helps, I AGREE! the position of the RemDim button is just not the right spot...although a functional key in design...it should have an option to DISABLE in desk settings. If you find out post it right away...this has happened to me twice...hit the RemDim again and your back but that second of swallowing your heart is awful.

I am a bit surprised that nobody from ETC has piped up to say that RemDim CAN be disabled from the Setup/Desk options in 1.8.
REM DIM is not a self-terminating keystroke. It requires an enter afterwards. Most of the other buttons around it are self-terminating. Seems to me like it would be pretty difficult to be plunged into darkness by this method accidentally. I've never mistakenly gone dark this way - I've done it other ways though! I don't see REM DIM as all that dangerous.

The Rem Dim Enable button in setup enables/disables rem dim in Highlight mode. (I believe the tab actually says that). As Luke said, to disable rem dim, you can set the value to 100%, which effectively turns it off.
We've had a rem dim function for about 20 years. On Obsession, I'm pretty sure the key was in the same spot as it is on Eos. We've not had problems with users considering this dangerous, because as stated, it isn't a self terminating key.
Hope this helps.

I think the issue might be, that Rem-Dim followed immediately by Out IS self Terminating!! And I've done it a few times myself this last week, them being so close together on the Ion (never noticed myself do it on the Eos......)
However, it's a function I use a fair amount, so it's not something I'm going to disable....just need to slim down my fingers!
And as stated before....hitting Rem-Dim again gets out of it quickly, doesn't stop the "tut" from some LD's though!
