Export Exception Files
If the console’s on-board computer malfunctions an exception le is automatically written to the ash
drive. Pressing the GO key will write this le to a connected USB memory device. A service engineer may
want to look at this le. This key is only available if a USB memory device is connected.
RECORDED DATA
As was mentioned previously, some settings are recorded as part of a Show, others as part of a Snapshot,
and a few are not recorded at all. The following diagram (Figure 15-20) shows how this is done.
Figure 15-20: Recorded Data Structure
Note that a Show has one hidden Show Snapshot. This Show Snapshot is generated automatically, and it
cannot be seen by the user. It holds the Cue List, the Show Settings and Audio Settings. These three sets
of data contain all of the parameters which change when a Show is loaded.
The Show Snapshot’s Audio Settings contains all the settings which a standard Snapshot can store; as a
result, the Show Snapshot can be thought of as the last settings before the Show was unloaded. The Show
Snapshot allows the complete status of the console to be recorded with the Show, even if no Cues have
been saved.
