need to keep the existing showfile, save it prior to loading a different showfile.

Effects allow constant movement of light in either a step based environment or in an effect engine based environment.
The 250ML Control Console gives you the ability to do step based affects for intensity and engine based effects for
automated luminaires.

Creating an Intensity Effect

In order to use an intensity based effect, the console must have intensity values stored into multiple steps. These steps
shall be stored on a fader. Start by setting levels, storing the effect on a submaster, releasing the channels then repeat
this process until all steps are recorded.
Here is a key to the images in the example...
This image (Figure 81) represents the smaller buttons on the console. These are bump buttons and softkeys.

This image (Figure 81) represents the larger buttons on the console. These are the command line keys.

Here is an example...
Set levels by pressing.
Store the first step to Submaster 1 as follows:
Figure 83 is what is displayed after the RECORD key and Sub 1's bump button is pressed. Pressing (S5) shall change
the type from "Normal" to "Chase" prior to pressing [ENTER]. This is when it is recommend to change the Fade Up /
Down times for the intensities in this step.
