The second way to save the information as a cue is to specify the cue number. The information
will then be saved as the specified cue number in the active programmer. For example:
• Record Cue 21 Enter
will save the information as cue 21 in the selected cuelist.
The third way to save information as a cue is to press Record Enter. This will save the
information as the next "whole" numbered cue in the selected cuelist.
Note:
When you press Record, the Record Options window will pop-up. For basic
recording operations, simply press "Record" again and use the defaults in the
Cue Options Window. For more information on record filters, please see
"Recording Cues" on page 86.

When using the Edit function with a cue, the Update key's LED will begin to flash. Once you have
made your changes in the programmer, you can simply press Update Enter or Update Update
and the cue that was being edited in the programmer will be updated with any new values.:
NOTE!
If two or more cues are loaded into the programmer using the Edit function,
Update will only update the attributes of the last loaded cue (regardless of which
cuelist is selected).
For this reason, when working with multiple cues and or groups in the programmer, it is strongly
recommended to use the Record function and either record a new cue, group or preset or merge
into an existing cue, group or preset.
C
LEAR AND THE
Fixture and attribute information entered into the programmer will remain there until it is cleared.
The "Clear" button on the keypad serves three different functions within the programmer: it can
be used to deselect active fixtures; it can be used to clear the programmer entirely; or it can be
used to clear specific attributes or attribute groups.
At this point, it is worth repeating a few definitions found earlier in the manual:
Selected Fixture
Deselected Fixture
Active Channel
Inactive Channel
P
ROGRAMMER
A selected fixture is one that is currently editable using the
programmer's trackbelts, touch screen, etc.
A deselected fixture is a fixture that, while in the programmer, will not
be affected by changes made in the programmer. That is to say that
changes made using the trackbelts, touch screens, etc. will have no
effect on deselected fixtures. For more information, please see
"Loading the Programmer Using Fixture Selection" on page 71.
An active channel is a channel in the programmer that, by default,
will be recorded into a group, cue or preset. These channel values
are displayed in white.
An inactive channel is a channel in the programmer that will not
normally be recorded into the specified group, cue or preset unless
specifically commanded to do so. A channel automatically becomes
inactive once recorded into a cue (but not a preset or group). A
channel can also be forced into an inactive state by using the Clear
functions. Please see "Clear and the Programmer" on page 81.
These channel values are displayed in black.
