Loading and Saving
Memories
The Illusion desk provides the facility to
save and load individual memories to
floppy disk.
This makes it possible to maintain a
library of useful memories for a given
lighting installation, without having to
save the complete show each time.
Individual memories can be added into
a show being created on the desk. The
memory data is loaded into a specified
destination and the channel data is
treated according to the current setup
on the desk.
User confirmation is required before
overwriting existing programmed
memories on the desk.
Memories can be loaded from a normal
showfile or a file containing memory
