Real Time Cues/Macros

you're right, the startup macro is a macro that fires when the console is being started.

what you're looking for is Show Control: Display > More SK > ShowControl.

Create a new eventlist: Event 1/ Type RTC Enter (RTC= Real Time Clock)
Create an Event inside this List: Event 1 Time 1945 Days 1 Thru 7 Enter (this event will execute at 7:45pm on all days of the week)
give it a thing to do: Event 1 Macro 5 Enter (or cue or sub)
activate the eventlist: Event 1/ Internal Enter

when having the console locked (Shift+Esc) some things will note execute, e.g. Foreground Macros

have fun, ueli

Ueli,

Thanks so much for the insight and info. I will certainly play with this more.

Two questions: setting internal ( I assume this to be the clock) does this negate the need to keep console running (powered up?) Once created, I assume an event can be deleted however have found no proper command line structure to do so.

For RTC to run you must leave console on.  It will not work as an alarm clock.

To delete

[Delete] [Event] # [Enter]

thanks so much.

Too bad about having to leave console on but, since they have designed in this feature, I assume, there's no harm in doing so.

Much appreciated info. BTW, we're practically neighbors.

the internal thing is to activate the cuelist. if you leave this softkey away, the list will be created but it will be marked as Off. you can switch that to On with Internal.

Thanks. I've played a bit since we started this and it seems simple enough. Just needed to be pointed in the right direction.
