Programming a Cue

First enable the EDIT mode and select the desired Cue by using the GO+ and GO- buttons. You see the

number of the current Cue in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

Use the command line interface (CLI) to change the value of the channel. The CLI is known from theatre

lighting consoles and provides a fast way of setting values for one or multiple channels.

Examples of the CLI's usage are:

Command Function

1 @ 50 <ENTER> Sets channel 1 at 50% (or at DMX value 50 when DEC unit is

selected)

1 + 2 @ <FULL> Sets channel 1 and 2 at maximum value

1 <THRU> 3 @ 0 Sets channels 1 till 3 at minimum value

1 <THRU> 3 + 5 @ 0 Sets channels 1, 2,3, and 5 at minimum value

<ALL> @ 100 <ENTER> Sets channels 1 till 1024 at 100% (or at DMX value 100 when

DEC unit is selected)

1 @ + 10 <ENTER> Increases channel 1 value with 10

<ALL> @ – 20 <ENTER> Decreases all channels' value by 20

Capture a Cue

Alternatively to programming a Cue through the CLI it is also possible to record a Cue from the DMX

input port or incoming Art-Net universes.

To capture from DMX, simply connect your external DMX-512 source and set it to output the desired

Cue, then press the DMX Capture button. Only the %rst 512 channels will be recorded, channels 513 till

1024 are left unchanged.

For capturing from Art-Net please make sure that the universe settings for incoming Art-Net match the

universes at your Art-Net source. Press the Art-Net Capture button and all 1,024 channels are recorded

in the Cue.

Timing

You can specify the cross-fade time between two Cues by setting the Cue's fade time (expressed in

seconds). Also you can determine for how long the Cue should be active before advancing to the next

Cue by setting the hold time. If the hold time is set to 0, the Cue is set to Halt and will not automatically

go to the next Cue.
