Lights Out

How did you delete that old show? Greyed out channel numbers mean unpatched channels. 

Deleting a showfile on your computer does not clear the show that was loaded on your nomad. Let's figure out what you did so we can find a way to help you.

We had a show from before my time with all light cues set that we weren't using. So I cleared out the show to program our new one this month. After doing so, all the numbers on the channels are greyed out. How do I get them back to white and not greyed out? 

You need to patch them... or merge your patch from old show (if same rig)

It is the same rig. This is the information I was looking for! Now to figure out how to patch them... any suggestions? I am super new to this older set and find myself having to think backwards a bit! 

Try to merge patch of your previous show : File / Merge check patch tile

Can you describe a bit closer how you cleared? Did you use the Clear function in the browser?

This means your patch was cleared, which is what turned your channels grey.

If the previous show was ever saved e.g. to your harddrive you can easily get your patch back. In the browser look at File > Merge > Show File Archive and check if the previous show is listed there.

If you can see it, double click it. you will see a grid of buttons. Select Patch and then click OK.
