Load options
You may choose to load only portions of the show file. This is a very versatile function,
saving much editing time by allowing different shows to share a common patch or mix
output, transferring libraries and macros from show to show, etc.
The different options are:
F1 All
All of the data contained in the show file is loaded.
F2 Patch Only
Load the patch tables only. Patch tables include Spot
Patch, Channel Patch (including the DMX Input
Patch), and Scroller Patch.
F5 Macro Only
Load only the macros.
F6 F1 Library Only
Choosing this option allows loading
F1
All Libraries,
F2
Position Libraries,
F3
Gobo Libraries, or
F4
Color
Libraries.
F6 F2 Mix Device
Only
Load the mix device table only. Note that only the
device table is loaded and not any patch assignments
or output addresses.
