Cue Times (Con't)
Auto Time T : Amount of time that the cue remains at 100% before automatically beginning its
output process.
Wait-In time T↑ : Amount of time that the cue waits before fading from 0% to 100%.
Wait-Out time T↓ : Amount of time that the cue waits before fading from 100% to 0%.
Allowed times are from 0.1 to 2000.9 sec. (when a time is greater than 100 seconds, the decimal point
