[SML] Need help using Focus Palletes on Element Console

[Stephen Litterst]

>> Go to the desired Cue.
>> Type '40''Enter' to select the moving device channel. (an I-Cue)
>> 'Recall From' (click on desired palette in the ML control area).
>> 'Record' 'Enter' 'Enter'.
>>
>> This does not put the label into the channel tombstone, nor does it seem to
>> properly update the position in the cue.
>>
>> So there are two problems - the position not being updated and the label not
>> being applied. Both may actually be the same problem - which appears to be
>> that the position is not being applied to the cue.


Your syntax is not recalling a pallette, it's recalling data from within 
the palette, which is why you're getting the result you are.  You're 
recalling the absolute data from within the palette, which means that 
changing the palette later will not automagically change the position in 
each cue.

To recall a palette, the syntax is simply <Channel>## <Focus Palette>## 
<enter>.

This will tell the cue to refer to the palette for the levels every 
time, thus automagically changing the cue whenever the palette is changed.

As for the position not being updated -- is the I-cue not going to the 
right position when you recall the focus palette?  If so, the focus 
palette was recorded incorrectly.

Hope this helps,
