USITT ASCII
IMPORT
Switch-Edit allows the import of USITT ASCII text files. This is an
international standard designed to allow lighting data to be transferred
between differing manufacturers.
Switch-Edit implements the following subset of commands:
CLEAR ALL: All memories will be cleared to zero channel levels. If this
command is removed, the import will effectively merge data into the
existing show.
CUE: Cue numbers are not used, the data is simply loaded to the next
consecutive memory number. The cue is automatically assigned to the
next available sequence step.
TEXT: The text field is loaded into the memory’s legend.
UP: The up fade is assigned to the sequences step fade time. If the fade
time is larger than Light-
Switch’s limit, additional wait steps are inserted to
match the time.
FOLLOW ON: The follow on time is used to insert additional wait steps in
the sequence.
LINK: The link cue number is used to define the step of sequences to
which the end of the last sequence will link. This allows the import of
shows that have an initialisation section followed by a continuous loop.
