6.4 Events
Events can be scheduled using the internal

input connected to rear panel Trigger Input
1-8. Multiple actions can be included in a single
event, and a delay time can be added after
each action as the event sequence is executed.
Use the New Event command to create events.
Events can also be cloned, edited, and deleted.
