A show is a list of scenes that runs on a timer. This is sometimes referred to as a stack or
cue list by other controllers. Show Designer 1 lets you record up to 16 pages of 16
shows for a total of 256.

RECORDING SHOWS

Before recording a Show you must first record the scenes that will be included in the
show. Consult the previous sections on how to do this.
To start recording a show press "RECORD", the "record" LED will then flash. Next
press "SHOW", the "show" LED will then also flash. The page number will display
the current Show page and any number switches that already contain Shows will be lit.
The display will show the current step that is ready to be recorded along with the
scene page and scene number in that step. The word "Empty" will appear in place
of the scene if there is nothing recorded at the step. The hold time for the scene is
displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. The numbers are separated by colons ":"
with seconds having a decimal point for tenths of a second.
When you first start the record process, step 000, scene "Start" will be displayed.
Step 0 is used to add a delay to the start of the show before the first scene is called.
No scene can be recorded at step 0. If you don't want a delay time at the start of
the show, leave the hold time as 00:00:00.0 and move on to step 1 by pressing the
"+" switch, the "ENTER" switch or by incrementing the data wheel.
To record a show step, press the "SCENE" switch, the "SCENE" LED will be lit. Next,
choose a scene for this step by selecting the page and pressing the desired scene
number. Next, select the hold time for this step. The time that you select is the time
that this scene will be held until the next step is called. You can select a new time
by moving the cursor to the hour, minute or second number and then pressing the
+ or - switch or turn the data wheel to change the time.
Once a scene has been selected and the hold time set, press "ENTER". The step
number will automatically advance to the next step. You can enter up to 255 steps
in the show. If you press "ENTER" without selecting a scene, the step number will
advance leaving that step empty.
