Procedure
Learn mode involves the following steps:
1
Activate all devices.
Turn on MXPro and all devices you intend to use, if necessary.
2
Press LEARN+ <number> to engage Learn mode, where <number> can be any
value from 1 to 8. The number designates the Learned Environment you want to
use.
Note that the INPUT EFFECTS LED (or, light) flashes while MXPro is in Learn
mode.
3
Enter production steps.
Create the production in the same way you would even if you weren't using
Learn mode.
4 Stop recording press LEARN again to disengage Learn Mode.
Learn mode disengages automatically if you exceed 250 total steps, the maxi-
mum allowed in all combined Learned Scripts.
5
Play back the Learned Script.
a
Enter SHIFT+LEARN+ <learned script #> on the keyboard, where <learned
script #> is the number of the Learned Environment and Learned Script you
want to play back. Remember, the Learned Environment/Learned Script
numbers can range from 1 through 8, inclusive.
b
Press PLAY or use the T-BAR to run each step in a Learned Script. When you
use the T-BAR , you can manually control any transition in the Learned
Script.
MXPro begins replaying the Learned Script and displays and/or records the results to
the output device. (If the MXPro Preview screen is not currently visible on the Preview
monitor, press DISPLAY until it appears.)
You can also use a GPI trigger device to play the steps in a Learned Script. A GPI trigger
device works exactly the same as pressing SHIFT+LEARN . See "Using a GPI Device"
beginning on page 126 for more information.
You cannot edit a Learned Script. The only way to change a Learned Script is to reen-
ter it from the beginning. If you recall a Learned Script and begin entering commands,
MXPro OVERWRITES the previous script.
