4.7 Startup Comment Macros
You can assign comment macros to be executed when a show file is launched. Comment
macros can be used to automate a variety of tasks such as recalling views or changing
pages. Startup comment macros are assigned in the Misc pane of the User Pr eferences
window:
Setup → Preferences → Misc
Macro entry box in User Preferences.
For details of the macro syntax, see Macros.
Tip: Startup macros only execute when the show file is initially launched. Any consoles
joining a network show will not execute the startup macro.
4.8 Backing Up Your Show
It is recommended that you backup your show file regularly by saving a compressed copy of
your show file on the console's hard disk or on a USB Flash Drive. Backup files are small in
size and are also easy to transfer from one console to another. Compressed backups provide
a method for reverting to older archives of your show file should a major problem occur with
your show file.
Use the following steps to make a compressed show file backup:
1. Setu p → Shows → Cu rre nt Show
2. Click Backu p.
3. Browse to a location on the hard drive or an external disk to save the backup file.
4. Click OK. A compressed copy of your show will be saved with ‘_bck’ appended to its
file name.
