icon in the Cue List Directory toolbar.
To return to the Live Display, press [S12].Use the Display Menu or the [S5]softkey
to change the display to Time Events. You can also press the icon in the Cue List Directory toolbar.
To return to the Live Display, press [S12].
Note that the upper left pane (where the Cue List Directory normally lives) now contains pages of Time Events. By default, the first pages is called "Time Events" and is Enabled.
The lower left pane is where individual Time Events are added and edited. There are twenty-one column in total (senven shown here and the remainder below):
....
The first column of the time events list has the GO icon. If you move the Blue Box over this icon and press [EDIT], the Macro(s) for this time event will run immediately for testing purposes.
To add an event, press [S1]Add Event. The new event will be named "New Time Event". To change its name, move the Blue Box to the name column and press [EDIT]. If you want to delete one or more events, position the blue box to highlight the events and press [DEL]. A confirmation box will be displayed:
Press [ENTER] to confirm deletion or [REL] to abort the operation.
To add macros to the event, move the Blue Box to this column and press [EDIT]. The Macro Editor will open and you can add one or more actions to this event.
This column will either have a check mark in the box or not. You can use the mouse or the blue box and [EDIT] to toggle the check mark. Events that should occur for all other reasons except that it's not enabled will appear in red text in the Today column.
Individual Time Events can be triggered based on different criteria:
When you select at time the Offset column to its right will be disabled. You then set the specific time of day in the Time/Offset column two columns to its right. When you select any one of the four astronomical events, the Offset column become enabled (see below).
Note:
Before you use any astronomical events, you must set up your location in Show Options|Venue Setup and the correct time and daylight savings time settings using the Marquee Control Panel.
Only if the When column is set to an astronomical event will this column be active:
Your choice is to fire the event exactly on time (no offset) or before or after the astronomical event. If you choose before or after, the Time/Offset column to the right will become active.
This column will only be active if either the When column is set to at time or an astronomical event is scheduled and you have set the Offset column to before or after. If the When column is set to at time, enter in the desired time in this column using the twenty-four hour (HH:MM:SS) syntax. If you're offsetting either before or after an astronomical event, enter the desired time offset here.

By default, this column is set to a value of zero. That means that once the event happens, it will not occur again. If you want the event to happen multiple times within this day, enter a none-zero value. When you edit this field, you can type a repeat value or roll one in using the wheel.
Note:
Regardless of the value of # Repeats, events will never roll over into the next day.
When the # of Repeats is none-zero, this column will become active. The default repeat time is 1 hour (01:00:00). The minimum repeat time is one minute, but any value greater than 60 seconds is valid (for example, 90 seconds or 00:01:30). Rolling the wheel while this box is open for editing increases the repeat time by one second. No repeats happen outside of the current day (i.e., past midnight).
This non-editable field shows you the event's activities for today.
Events missed because the show file loaded after the event was to occur appear in grey text
Events that are excluded from occurring today for any reason except that the event is not enabled appear in grey text
Events that are still to occur appear in green text
Events that should occur today but are disabled appear in red text
...
You can easily determine which days of the week this event will occur on by adding a check mark in the appropriate column. By default, all new time events will be set to function on all seven days.
If you want events to occur only on certain dates, you can get more specific by editing the Only On column. Pressing [EDIT] in this column will open up a dialog box:
Press [S2] to add a line to the list then move the Blue Box using the arrow keys or mouse and press [EDIT] to change the value in each of the Day, Month and Year columns. The first item in each list is the word all. You can add as many rows in the list as needed to cover all your dates. If you want to delete any rows, position the Blue Box in any column of the desired row and press [Delete].
The column to the right of Only On is called # Repeats, but has different functionality to the column with the same name to the right of Time/Offset (see above). This field is only editable if you have entered at least one row in the Only On field. If, for example, you specified only on January 1 2006, and then entered a value of 6 in the # Repeats field, the events would happen seven times (a full week) starting on the 1st of January, if and only if there are no Except On or Days of the Week exclusions.
Note:
Regardless of the value of # Repeats, events will never roll over into the next month.
If you have specified Only On Dates, and the # Repeats is greater than one, you can specify Skip Days. This field is similar to Repeat Delay specified above.
Apart from the Enabled value, this field is the upper most condition upon which an event will not fire. Regardless of your Day of Week and Only On selections, if the current day is specified here, the event will not happen. Pressing [EDIT] in this column will open up a dialog box:
Press [S2] to add a line to the list then move the Blue Box using the arrow keys or mouse and press [EDIT] to change the value in each of the Day, Month and Year columns. The first item in each list is the word all. You can add as many rows in the list is needed to cover all your dates. If you want to delete any rows, position the Blue Box in any column of the desired row and press [Delete].
