Cue Only Option
Cue Only is only applicable in Tracking Mode. The Cue Only option which is
selectable via the [Cue Only] MFK on Special Page 1 and in the Update
Options Window allows you to program new cues or to make changes to cues
without affecting any subsequent cues in the memory stack.
Imagine a scenario where you have two cues, subtly different (Cue 1 and 2).
In between these, you wish to add a blackout with a solo spot for an added
cue (Cue 1.5). Due to the behaviour of tracking, if you added the solo spot
and blackout into an insert cue 1.5, these changes would track forwards into
Cue 2, messing up the state.
By adding the new state as Cue Only, the desk will automatically add the
required tagging into Cue 2 to stop the changes from tracking forwards from
Cue 1.5.
Home Function
The Home function provides a quick method of setting fixture parameters to
their „home‟ values. The home values are taken from the Edit Fixtures table in
Setup and unless they have been specifically edited they will typically be
brightness (intensity) to full, colour to white, no gobo, no prisms, shutter open,
pan and tilt to mid-position etc.
Parameters that are homed are automatically tagged in the Program Window.
The Home function is available at fixture and attribute level. Select the
fixture(s) to be homed and then perform any of the operations summarised in
this table:
