Using SEQUENCER
5.1.2 Inserting New Events
1. If you have existing events and want to insert a new event, select the event under which you
want to place the new event.
2. Click Ins Evt button to open a selection menu. You can use this command
to create new events or to add existing events (such as zooms or time
lapses created for other sequences).
3. Review the menu that appears, including such items as SLIDE, ZOOM,
TIME LAPSE, RADAR, LIGHTNING, and NWN. The list of events
depends on the configuration of your system. For example, NWN events
are restricted to users who also have the optional Neighborhood Weather
Net system and LIGHTNING events are restricted to users with integrated
lightning detection. You may use the Ins Evt function to insert an event in
a particular location (such as between two existing events in the list).
4. Double-click on the event you want to insert, and verify that the selected
event displays in the sequence list.
5.1.3 Deleting Events from Sequences
1. Select the event you wish to delete.
2. Click Del Evt. A confirmation menu will ask you to verify the deletion.
3. Click Yes to remove the event.
The Del Evt command does not permanently delete events from your system. For example, if
you delete a zoom called Zoom to Huntsville from a particular sequence, it may still exist as an
event in other sequences. It will still be available as a choice when you select INS EVT and
select a zoom event. To permanently delete a zoom or time-lapse from the system you actually
have to use the insert event feature. When the menu offers a particular event name, you may
highlight it and hit the delete button.
5.1.4 Deleting Sequences
Select Del Seq to delete the current sequence. The current sequence’s name and events appear on
the SEQUENCER panel. When you delete a sequence, its events are not deleted from your
system. Instead, zooms or time lapses that are part of the system are still available as choices
when you use the Insert Event option.
5.1.5 Starting and Playing a Sequence
The Start Seq command displays all events in the current sequence.
1. Select Start Seq. SEQUENCER scans the sequence for zooms and time lapses. If
SEQUENCER locates such events, the Loading Frames message displays and you cannot
select any SEQUENCER command. SEQUENCER then loads the frames of the first zoom or
