Element User Manual

For Example:

To update only cues 5, 10, and 15:

• [Update] <Cue> [5] [+] <Cue> [1][0] [+] <Cue> [1][5] <CueOnly/Track> [Enter]

To update the current cue and cue 7:

[Update] [+] <Cue>[7] <CueOnly/Track> [Enter]

Using Cue Only/Track

The [Cue Only/Track] key can be used as an applied exception to the cue only/track system
setting. Therefore if the system is set to Cue Only, the key behaves as a [Track] command.
Alternatively, if the system is set to Track, the key behaves as a [Cue Only] button.

For more information on Tracking vs. Cue Only see

Tracking vs. Cue Only, page 236

and

Using

[Cue Only / Track], page 109

.

[Cue Only/Track] can be used in conjunction with record or update functions. Following are some
examples of use:

With system set to “Track”

[Record] <Cue> [5] [Cue Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will make the changes

to cue 5 only. The changes will not track forward through the list.

[-] {Color} [Record] <Cue> [5] [Cue Only] [Enter] [Enter] - as above, but changes to color

parameters will not be included in the record and all data that was included will not track
forward. Color data in the cue remains unchanged.

[Update] <Cue> [5] [Cue Only] [Enter] - updates cue 5 with only those manual parameters

that were receiving their instructions from that cue. The changes will not track forward in the
list. Note that if the data being updated were referenced, this action updates the referenced
target as well.

[-] [5] [Record] <Cue> [7] [Cue Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue, except

the contributions from channel 5. The changes will not track forward in the list.

With system set to “Cue Only”

[Record] <Cue> [5] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will force the changes to

track forward in the list until the next move instruction or block.

[-] [5] {Color} [Record] <Cue> [7] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue,

except the color data from channel 5. The recorded changes will track forward in the list.

[Update] <Cue> [3] [Thru] [7] [Track] [Enter] - updates cues 3 thru 7. Range updates are

subject to the normal rules of track/cue only in determining impact on subsequent cues.

N o t e :

If no cue number is entered before the [+], the current active cue will be used.

N o t e :

In the following examples, the commands [Cue Only] and [Track] indicate the

same key hit of [Cue Only/Track] - a single button on the keypad. The system

setting determines the actual context of the button.
For clarity, only the contextual function of the button is used in the examples.
