How to use StageLight Basic.
This section need alot of work and is out of date!!
Note: This section may not be correct due to changes in the software that
haven't made it to this document yet.
The basic principle of operation.
Set up the channel sliders to the levels you want, select the fade time using
the [Time] fader, test using the [Test] button, if you like it, hit the [REC]
button to store it in the cue list.
Press the [Next] button and create a new Cue.
You can [Cut],[Copy],[Paste] and [Insert] using the appropiate shortcut keys
or select from the menu items.
[Cut] = [ctrl]+[x] [Copy] = [ctrl]+[c] [Insert] = [ctrl]+[v]
You can [Save] and [Load] the Cue Lists to and from disk using the File Menu.
[DISP] Button toggles the animation of the sliders ON or OFF.
For slower machines you can de-select the [Disp] option to disable the fader
animation to give a more accurate output timing for DMX.
[DMX] Button enables/disables the DMX output
[RUN] Button runs the Cue sequence using the Cue Start times.
[STOP] Stops the sequence from running.
Under the [Windows] Menu:
[DMX Patches] Allows you to enter the DMX Channel that you want each slider
to output to. This still needs work tiding up and adding conflict checking.
This is currently untested!!!.
[Colours] This allows colours to be assigned to each sliders knob.
[DMX Monitor] Future add on to monitor the dmx output - similar to the
X display program provided with the dmx4linux drivers
[Run Show] Future add on to run the programmed sequence without animation of
the sliders etc.
