Using the keyword CUE is optional.
If W (cue number) is not given, you will be prompted for it.
If executor is not given, default executor will be used.
If fade or delay are given, they overwrite the default GOTO times.
The default GOTO times can be changed in the SETUP / DEFAULTS menu.

(see ASSIGN).
In actual fact you will end up with an LOAD assigned to the executor button as it has to ask
for the cue number.

GROUP becomes the DEFAULT KEYWORD.
GROUP (range list) ENTER
Select groups in range list.
GROUP (range list) AT … (see AT)
Apply values to groups in range list.
Group numbers in the range list must be in the interval [ 1 … 999].

PAUSE PARK all devices of group.

HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHT
Pressing HIGHLIGHT once will change the selected fixtures to the value set in SETUP.
When holding the HIGHLIGHT button down, the selected fixtures will pulse – for a
better identification.

Classification Classification Classification Classification Classification : helping keyword
IF IF IF IF IF is performing a logical command within selections. It never enlarges the current
selection. It leaves only those devices selected which are included in both selections:
Assuming that we have two groups (we will use real names to make it clearer):
PAR64 includes ALL PAR64 lamps
FRONT_TRUSS includes ALL lamps on the front truss.
PAR64 IF FRONT_TRUSS ENTER PAR64 IF FRONT_TRUSS ENTER PAR64 IF FRONT_TRUSS ENTER PAR64 IF FRONT_TRUSS ENTER PAR64 IF FRONT_TRUSS ENTER will therefore select all PAR64 which are on
the front truss !
General Syntax:
[ (selection1) ] IF (selection2) ENTER [ (selection1) ] IF (selection2) ENTER [ (selection1) ] IF (selection2) ENTER [ (selection1) ] IF (selection2) ENTER [ (selection1) ] IF (selection2) ENTER
If selection1 is not given, the current selection will be used.

General syntax:
IFOUTPUT (object list) [ENTER] IFOUTPUT (object list) [ENTER] IFOUTPUT (object list) [ENTER] IFOUTPUT (object list) [ENTER] IFOUTPUT (object list) [ENTER]
If the object list is a hit on an executor´s button, or a click into an object pool window,
ENTER is not needed.
Examples:
IFOUTPUT EXEC 1 ENTER IFOUTPUT EXEC 1 ENTER IFOUTPUT EXEC 1 ENTER IFOUTPUT EXEC 1 ENTER IFOUTPUT EXEC 1 ENTER
All devices which have stage output
from executor 1 will be selected.
IFOUTPUT PRESET 1.1 ENTER IFOUTPUT PRESET 1.1 ENTER IFOUTPUT PRESET 1.1 ENTER IFOUTPUT PRESET 1.1 ENTER IFOUTPUT PRESET 1.1 ENTER
All devices which have the preset 1.1
active on stage will become selected. Very nice for selecting all fixtures that have a
“blue star” currently on stage.
