Appendix D Production Computer Protocol 255
load Loads a show by name. The name is specified as a quoted string containing the
full path to the file. The use of backslash characters in Windows path names
conflicts with the use of the backslash as an escape character in this protocol.
Either double the backslash characters, or use forward slashes instead (as
shown in this example):
load "C:/Samples/ExampleShow.watch"
◆ NOTE: When using this load command, the production software will auto-
matically go online after loading the show.
If desired, you can add a numeric parameter to override the conditional layer
settings of the show being loaded. For example, to enable condition 1 and 2
only:
load "C:/Samples/ExampleShow.watch" 3
The number is a sum of the decimal numbers corresponding to each desired
condition, as shown in the table to the left.
The last optional parameter is a boolean controlling whether the production
software will go online or not, after loading the show (default value is true):
load "C:/Samples/ExampleShow.watch" 3 false
loads the specified show and sets its layer conditions, but remains offline.
Condition Number to Add
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
…and so on.
