Triggers

A "trigger" is a command that will carry out any single line in the
cue script. A trigger is executed simply by moving an assigned preset
fader, and all of the presets on all of the eight roller pages can be
assigned different triggers. (Thus a 24-channel LP-2000 can store 96
triggers, while the larger consoles will store 192.) A single move of
the preset slider can then initiate a scene fade, a color change,
start a chase, and select a new "next" scene simultaneously.

To set up triggers, select the Triggers line of the Cue Stack menu,
and press the SCREEN RIGHT button. The display should then read
"Preset Triggers." The first value shown is the page number for the
preset roller, and following that is a list of the preset sliders (12
or 24, depending on the console) and the cue script line that the
preset fader will trigger. As usual, only three lines of the preset
list are shown on the screen at a time; positioning the cursor under
the preset number allows the selection of the desired preset with the
Up and Down buttons, or by direct entry from the keypad. Positioning
the cursor under the cue script line number to the right allows the
entry of any line number, from 1 to 999. Additionally, a line number
of 0 can be entered, which turns triggering off for that fader.

When the console is running a cue script, simply moving an assigned
fader even a small amount will initiate the trigger. Note that a
preset fader can be assigned to control a preset scene as well as act
as a trigger, and both functions can occur simultaneously. The fader
can be set up as a trigger only if it is programmed with a blank
scene (i.e. all channel levels at zero). If the console is operating
in Sequenced mode, or if the Cue Plus panel is not being used at all,
triggering will not take place when the preset faders are moved.

Hint: Cue script line 1 can be set up with an infinite delay
time. It can thus be triggered at any time to stop a script
which is in progress.
