Editing Cues
To edit a cue, the simplest method is to load it into the Program Window, by entering the
following command:
LOAD S/C ENTER (S = Stack Number, C = Cue Number)
This will load the cue into the Program Window and output the programmed DMX values.
You can then select fixtures and make changes to parameter levels and fade and delay
times as necessary, in the same way as when recording the cue (see earlier).
To record the changes to the cue, press the UPDATE key.
Naming Cues
Select the required cue from the Cue Stack Window and press the SET key or enter the
following command:
SET S/C ENTER (S = Stack Number, C = Cue Number)
Type in the name using the external keyboard and then press ENTER to complete.
Playing Back Cues
Before playing back the programmed cues in a cue stack, it is important to clear the
Program Window by pressing the CLEAR button. This removes any unrecorded
commands and sends fixtures to their default values, with the exception of the intensity,
which is kept at 0%.
To play back the cues in a cue stack in sequence first select the required page of
playbacks using the PAGE+ and PAGE- buttons.
Press the GO button for the selected playback, and raise the master fader to full. These
commands can be executed in either order, as sometimes a manual fade is desirable.
Pressing the GO button will trigger the start of fades on all parameters, but the intensity
channels are mixed with the master fader.
To output the next memory in the stack, simply press the GO button again.
To output a specific memory in the cue stack, use the cursor keys to select the next
memory in the Cue Stack Window (indicated with the yellow highlight bar), then press the
GO button.
Once you have finished playing back cues, it is important to release the cue stack. This
returns all of the affected fixtures to their default values, or to the value they were at before
the cue stack was executed. Note that this is a snap function.
Select the cue stack, using the Stack SELECT button, then press the RELEASE key.
