In the above image, actions 1 through 7 indicate referenced values in the "Level" column (palettes or
presets), though these values can be absolute data as well.
If an effect action is on the command line or indicated in the blue text to the left of the command
line, entering a number on the command line will default to selecting a action for the previous selec-
ted effect.
If no action is displayed, the command line will default to an effect number.
Default step times will display in gray and in parentheses, and assigned step times will display in
white without parentheses.
Note:
If no step time has been assigned, the action will begin once the fade and dwell times for the pre-
vious action have completed. If a step time has been assigned, the next action will begin after that
set amount of time has elapsed.
You can also define specific parameters for Absolute effect actions. To apply a parameter to a spe-
cific action, click in the Param column and select the desired parameter.

For Example:
To open the effects list press:
Establish the number of the effect by pressing:
The CIA will repaint with unpopulated fields for the new effect. Assign the effect as absolute
by pressing:
The effect will appear in the list and the CIA will repaint with the default entries for the effect
and an action chart for the effect. Define the first action by pressing:

The default step time is the time value plus the dwell value.
