Track Sheet

Edward Updated by Edward

The tracking sheet is a convenient way to view how channels are changing between cues.

The view consists of a “cues by channels” grid. Each row represents a channel patched in the show.  The columns with a grey background are the cues in numerical order stored in the selected cue list.

 

The track sheet can be opened also by pressing <shift>F4 on the keyboard.

 

If you have intelligent fixtures patched, you will see a small “+” sign at the start of the row. This indicates that there is more information about the fixture available. When you click on the “+” symbol the rows will expand to show all the attributes for that fixture and what values are set for each cue. After clicking on this, the “+” will become a “-“ and can be used to collapse the view back down to the dimmer only.

 

The “Collapse All” and “Expand All” buttons at the bottom of the window can be used to open and close all the intelligent fixtures listed.

 

The “Channel Range” edit box can be used to enter a range of channels that will filter the view. You can use the standard channel select syntax to filter the channels shown.

 

            Example: 1/20-7: this will show only channels 1 thought to 20 except 7.

 

“Show unused channels when range set” – Normally, only the patched channels are shown in the track sheet.  If you have specified a “Channel Range”, checking this option will show all the channels in the range regardless if they are patched or not. Thus, you could add a new channel to the cue list by entering a value in one of the cue columns.  It would still need to be assigned a DMX address or fixture in the Patch window in order to affect the live output.

 

“Show tracked values” – In full tracking mode, values are shown only in those channels that have changes in the given cue.  Checking this option will show the tracked values in every cue. The values shown are color-coded as follows:

  • §  Increasing – Light Blue
  • §  Decreasing - Green
  • §  Tracked - Magenta
  • §  Attribute Changed - Blue
  • §  Blocked - Black
  • §  Submaster Control - Yellow
  • §  Effect Control – White

 

Printing & Exporting – Pressing the print button will print the track sheet to the selected printer. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this button to change the print settings or preview the output. An Export option will save the contents of the track sheet to a comma separated file format (CSV) file.
