4 – Operation : Writing Switch Events
Write To End:
When the Write Revert Time is set to ∞s, you are
essentially telling the automation system to maintain
that control's last setting from the point when auto-
mation recording ends, all the way to the end of the
program.
NOTE
A Write/Trim To End operation must be completed by
stopping the timecode. Manually disabling Write or
Trim mode while timecode is running will not perform a
Write To End operation.

AUTO REVERT must be enabled to use Write To End.
This is called Write To End. In this case, any switch
events existing in the time between the end of auto-
mation recording and the end of the program will be
erased.
