WinScript User’s Guide
Using The "Spreadsheet"
WinScript's interface works just like a spreadsheet. You can traverse the fields
by pressing the arrow keys and open a field for editing by double-clicking it you
can enter new data by simply selecting a field and string to type. You can also
cut, paste, and copy entire sequences or events or strings.
Working with Sequences
Your Show Controller can hold 256 independent sequences containing up to
32,767 events (depending on available show memory). These sequences may be
copied, cut, and pasted between different scripts, or within the same script, using
simple menu and hotkey commands from within the
Sequence List .
Your Tab button and arrows key will move you from cell to cell throughout
your designated sequences.
The Sequence List
The sequence list displays three types of information for each sequence:
Index Number
–
Sequence Index Numbers run sequentially from 1 up to 256.
Locally, the sequence number is for reference only – we always refer to the
sequences by name – but the index number can be used when starting, stopping,
pausing, or resetting the sequence from within
another Show Controller.
Autostart Enable checkbox
– The Autostart Enable checkbox indicates if
the sequence is set to execute if the Show Controller is powered-up or receives a
download. If there is an asterisk in the box, the sequence is Autostart Enabled.
You can toggle between Autostart and Loop Enable checkbox’s by simply using
your mouse and clicking between the two.
Loop Enable checkbox
– The Loop Enable checkbox indicates if the
sequence is set to loop. If there is an asterisk in the box, the sequence is Loop
Enabled. You can toggle between Autostart and Loop Enable checkbox’s by
simply using your mouse and clicking between the two.
Sequence Name
–
The Sequence Name is used to differentiate sequences
from each other. No two sequences in the same script should have the same
name.
