Sequential Fade

Hey all,

I'm pretty new to both ETC. and lighting in general, forgive the noob question:

I have 5 rows of simple wash lights and I need to make them fade from FL to 0, sequentially - one row at a time, across a large room, with maybe a 3 second fade on each row. Luckily, or maybe not, each row is a single channel (i.e. row 1 = ch. 700, row 2 = 701 etc.) What is the best way to do this? A multi part cue? I'm using Nomad w/ a remote processor (no physical board).

Thanks in advance!

    as per Mike's reply: Each part of the cue would need a separate DELAY time. OR

    in a single cue, channels 701 - 705 delay 0 thru 12 enter. update/record enter.
    cue time of 3.
    Hit go: 701 starts fading in Time 3, 702 starts running its 3 sec delay, 703 starts running its 6 sec delay, 704 starts its 9 sec delay . . .

    (This is called Discreet timing: each individual channel can have it's own timed fade/delay/follow recorded within a cue.)

    if the wash rows had different channels within them (row 1 = 701 - 704, row 2 = 705 - 708 etc), program groups Group 701 = channels 701 - 704, group 705 = chan 705 - 708 . . .) and apply the discreet delays to each grouping of channels.
