Store Options and Defaults

When cues are stored then there are some options that will be used.

Each user (profile) can have their own default options.

During the store it is also possible to add commands that will use a specific set of store options.

In this topic the options regarding storing cues are described. Some of these options will impact how other cues will respond. Elements regarding tracking are described in the What is Tracking topic.

Store Options

The default store options are found by pressing the Setup key followed by the Store Options below the "User" tab. It could look like this:

On the left side are two areas called "Data Source" and "Use Selection". It is these two sections that are described here.

The "Presets" options are described in the Create Presets topic. "If not Empty" is described in the Store Cues topic.

Store Filter is described in the What are Filters topics. Cue Only and Tracking Shield is discussed in the What is Tracking topic. Position data (Active Position Data, XYZ, and Pan/Tilt) is relevant when XYZ position programming is activated. Read more about it in the Programming XYZ section.

The other is called Save as Default. This can be used to save the current temporary options as the new default options into the current User Profile.
