Using Trace
{Trace} works just as Track does, except it allows changes to be tracked backwards through
the cue list, until it sees a move instruction. A trace will track into, but not beyond, a blocked
instruction.
For a more detailed summary of Trace, see Using Trace (on page 7)
Following are some examples:
•
[Update] <Cue> [5] {Trace} [Enter] - updates cue 5, and tracks changes backward until a
move instruction is encountered. If the system is in tracking mode, the change will track
forward in the cue list until the next move instruction or block. If in cue only mode, this
has no impact on subsequent cues.
•
[Update] {Trace] [Cue Only/Track} [Enter] - updates the selected cue and tracks changes
backward until a move instruction is encountered. If the system is in tracking mode, the
change is prohibited from tracking forward in the list. If in cue only mode, the change is
allowed to track forward.
When a channel that is inactive (at zero or null) in the cue list receives an active level, if
update trace is used, that channel will not trace the current setting into previous cues.
To force that channel's new value to go backward in the cue list, {Trace} {Trace} can be
entered.
Updating the Current Cue
The current cue is updated by simply pressing [Update] [Enter].
When only one cue list is active, this update will include any changes to all channels.
Updating a Source Cue
To update the source of a level in the current cue (therefore, a move instruction in a prior cue)
you must specify a trace for the desired channel(s). See
Using Trace (above)
•
[5] [Update] {Trace} [Enter] - Updates any manual changes for channel 5 in the current
cue. Any tracked values for channel 5 are traced back to the source of the value (the
original move instruction) and changed to the new value. The value for traced changes in
the current cue will be magenta indicating it is a tracked value.
•
{Trace} {Trace} - If a channel was inactive in the cue (either because it had not previously
been used in the cue list, or it was a tracked zero) and is set to a new level, by default the
new level will not track back. You can force it by pressing {Trace} twice.
Updating a Non-Active Cue
It is possible to use the same update commands as current ( Updating the Current Cue (above) )
and source cues ( Updating a Source Cue (above) ) to update inactive cues (cues not live
onstage). In these situations, if the updated cue is not the source of a channel’s live value,
manual data will remain manual. If the updated cue is the source of the current value, the
values will change to magenta (indicating tracked) when the update is completed.
Update [Thru]
Using [Update] [Thru] allows you to update from a current cue to a destination cue without
first entering the current cue's number.
