html_help_contents.png NOTE

You may also set the TYPE from 'At Time' or 'At Sunrise' etc. to 'None'. That way the event will just be skipped until you set the Type again and you don't need to setup the actions again.

 

Event Type

None

Event is disabled. Change Event Type to 'None' if you think you'll use the event in the future and want to keep it in your show file.

At Time

Set a specific start time of day for the associated action.

Sunrise

The associated action will begin at local sunrise, as determined by the astronomical clock setting under System Preferences.

Sunset

The associated action will begin at local sunset, as determined by the astronomical clock setting under System Preferences.

Before Sunrise

The associated action will begin prior to local sunrise as determined by the offset time.

After Sunrise

The associated action will begin after local sunrise as determined by the offset time.

Before Sunset

The associated action will begin prior to local sunset as determined by the offset time.

After Sunset

The associated action will begin after local sunset as determined by the offset time.

Time or Offset

You will either see a Time or an Offset based on the Type of event described above.

Time

Sets the time used by “At Time” to trigger the associated event.  Use the red wheel uber_tool_artboards_bug_b.png to set the time by adjusting by minutes. Shift button_shift.png + the red wheel uber_tool_artboards_bug_b.png will change the time in seconds.  Touch the keypaduber_tool_artboards_NumPad.pngto set open a window to edit in hours, minutes and seconds plus AM and PM.

Offset

Defines the time before or after sunrise or sunset (above) when the associated action will be triggered.  These astronomical events will rely on your time zone and global position as set up in SETUP | SYSTEM.

Days

Touch the keypad icon to select which days of the week the associated action will be triggered.
