172 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
Sneak
The [Sneak] command (when a destination is not provided) removes manual changes from
selected channels and allows the channels to sneak back to their background states (cue or
submaster instruction, if any).Sneaking channels to their previous state is similar to the
Expression release function, except sneak has the ability to release in time.
If there is no background state from the playbacks, the channel parameters will be set to their
home position. The sneak command follows the sneak timing default established in Setup (see
Manual Control (on page141)
), unless a timing value is provided as part of the sneak command.
The playback status display will show a red counter for sneak time. If multiple sneak times are
being used, the most recently fired sneak time will be displayed. For an example of the sneak
counter, see
Indicators in the Playback Status Display (on page50)
.
The sneak command can also be used to send a channel parameter to a specific destination,
either with or without timing. The following examples illustrate the various methods of using the
sneak command:
[channel list] [Sneak] [Enter] - releases manual control, setting parameters to their
background state. If there are current values for those parameters from a playback, those
are the values that will be restored. If there are no values from a playback, the parameters
are set to home (or default) position.
[channel list] [Color] [Sneak] [Enter] - sneaks color of the selected channels to the default
or background state.
[5] [At] [5]<0> [Sneak] [8] [Enter] - sneaks channel 5 to 50% in 8 seconds.
[Sneak] [Enter] - when no channels are selected, restores all channels with manual values
to their background state.
[Sneak] [Sneak]- puts {AllNPs} [Sneak] on the command line, which sneaks out all non-
intensity parameters. [Sneak] [Sneak] is a self-terminating command.
[Sneak] <Time> [3] [Enter] - restores all channels with manual values to their background
state in 3 seconds.
[Select Active] [Sneak] [Enter] - selects all channels with intensity above zero and restores
them to their background state, using default sneak times.
[Group] [5] <Color Palette> [9] [Sneak] [Enter] - selects group 5 and sneaks it to color
palette 9 using default sneak time.
[Group] [3] [At] <Color Palette> [1] [Sneak] <Time> [7] [Enter] - selects group 3 and
sneaks it to color palette 1 in 7 seconds.
[Sub] [4] [At] [5] [0] [Sneak] [2] [Enter] - selects submaster 4 and sneaks it to 50% in 2
seconds.
Note: When recalling a reference from the direct selects to use with the sneak
command, the sneak command has to be entered before the reference.
[Chan][1] [Sneak] {Preset 1}- selects channel 1 and sneaks it to preset 1 using default
sneak time.
[Chan][2][Sneak]<Time>[2]{Intensity Palette 3}- selects channel 2 and sneaks it to
intensity palette 3 in 2 seconds.
[Shift] & [Sneak] - makes any manual data unmanual. The values will remain but they will
no longer be available for [Update] or [Record Only] operations. When used with an
empty command line, this will affect any and all manual data. When used with a channel
selection, only those channels will be affected.
