Import CSV
Imports channel data from a CSV file. Suitable for importing from Excel or other tools.
CSV format
- Delimiter: Semicolon (
;) - Encoding: UTF-8
- First row: Header row, skipped during import
- Column order (fixed, no name-based detection):
| Position | Column |
|---|---|
| 1 | Channel |
| 2 | Dimmer address |
| 3 | Fixture |
| 4 | Position |
| 5 | Colour |
| 6 | Notes |
Rows without a channel number are skipped.
Behaviour with existing channels
The import merges and updates selectively instead of replacing the entire channel list:
- If a channel with the same number already exists, only the non-empty fields from the CSV are applied — empty cells leave existing values unchanged.
- Channels new to the CSV are added.
- After import, the list is sorted numerically by channel number.
Alternative: scan a channel list
If you don't have a CSV file but do have a photo of a filled-out channel list (printed template or handwritten), it can also be read via AI — see Scan Channel List.
