VECTOR
SETTING UP AND OVERVIEW
Vector operation modes and programming syntax
Vector has two operation modes:
Tracking mode
Compulite mode
Vector offers two syntaxes for programming procedures.
Action syntax
Enter syntax
The operation mode and programming syntax are set in the
System
Settings dialog boxEditing tab.
Tracking mode operation
In tracking mode, Vector stores only the changes or moves from one
cue to the next. Parameter levels that do not change are tracked
through cues following the cue where the level was originally set. Levels
that are being tracked are not stored again in each cue. Thus there are
two types of parameter values:
Hard values (new or changed values) - values that are stored in the
current cue.
Tracked values - unchanged values that are tracked from an earlier
cue.
After storing a cue, the editor is released.
Sometimes you want to cancel all tracking values, for instance, when
starting a new scene. Block cues are used to reset the tracking,Vector
automatically maintains the cue state when playing back cues out of
sequence, as often happens during rehearsals.
Compulite mode operation
Compulite mode is a cue only mode, where all fixtures and values that
comprise the lighting state are stored in each cue.
The editor is not released after storing a cue. You can continue
programming cues based on the editor group or reset the editor.

Resetting the editor” on page 51.
