follows:-
“focus name” palette entry number channel level(s)
When “focus name” this is the name given to the focus. This can be
up to 11 characters and can include spaces. It must begin and end with
double quotes.
When focus button number defines which palette entry will be used,
numbers 1..200 indicate the entry button number.
Where channel level(s) are the actual level output to the instrument.
This is must be in hexadecimal notation. If no value is required (the
entry is OFF) a -1 (minus one) should be placed in the field.
For example:-
“STAR GOBO” 20 0 FF ;
The first field is the name of the focus, STAR GOBO.
Next is the focus button number that the focus will be placed on. In
this case focus button 20.
Next are the data values.
The last line of the preset focus table must be:-
PFEND
There can be a number of preset focus tables.

Macros allow a defined set of channels to be adjusted rather like
running a chase. The principle use for this is to allow instruments to be
struck up or reset which sometimes requires a sequence of channels to
be turned on and off over a certain time scale.
Whilst a macro is running all other desk functions are locked out. The
macro progression is presented on the prompt line of the screen.
There are three key types of data line associated with macros, these
are:
MACRO “macro name” channel list
“data” data list
“delay” 1 time
MEND
• Where “macro name” can be up to 11 characters and can include

that this MUST be in lower case and enclosed in double quotes.
