Jands HOG 500 Operating Manual page 108

I have a chase Master running strobe chases. If Q8 then goes on my main Master it seems to dim all
the fixtures and change their position focus. Why does it do this? Q8 does not have any Trackspot
data in it at all.
This is because you have the cuelist option Maintain state on, and ...but not in jumps off.
When but not in jumps is off, the cuelist will reassert its state on cue execution (in case parameters
have been over-ridden by other masters). The Trackspots may not be in the cue 8, but they are in earlier
cues, and it is this that causes the problem. To prevent this, turn but not in jumps ON.
I want to use MIDI to trigger a 2nd HOG as a tracking backup. However, if you had a crash on the
main desk would it trigger a crash on the backup?
MIDI show control will do tracking fine, apart from the fact that Halt/back will not fade on the backup, it
will snap. Plus it will not track any over-rides using the programmer. MIDI notes will do full tracking
correctly. Regarding crashes: it depends what the crash was caused by. If it was due to a window problem,
then not having the window open on the backup would mean the backup won't crash either. Other software
bugs may be reproduced. The backup will cover for hardware failures very nicely though.
A fixture's intensity is at full no matter where fader is.
Check that the intensity parameter isn't set as htp8bit in the fixture library.
Hitting Go to exit a loop zaps fade time of other running cues. How do I stop this?
You can fix this problem by turning on the ...but not in jumps cuelist option.
I can't get Learn Timing to work with Simulate in SMPTE.
Learn timing will only replace wait times that are currently set to Halt (blank in the cuelist). This is to
allow you to build up the timing over several passes, and not have your previous work eradicated every
time.
