Show Control Buttons

Along the bottom of the screen are a panel of buttons that control the execution of the show.  

The first two buttons from the left are 'Enable' and 'STOP'.  The action of these two buttons remain the same for all Firing Modes.  

Enable must be selected (highlighted green by clicking it or holding down the Ctrl key) for the show, macros or firing of module/pin execute buttons to operate.  This is meant to add a layer of security that s show not be accidentally started or a pin fired without the user enabling of the system.  

The 'STOP' button is a All Halt action that stops the show or macro and disarms the system.

The control buttons change in display and action based on what Firing Mode we are in.

In Manual Firing Mode the button 'Fire' will execute the current cue and advance to the next cue.

' Refire' will execute the previously fired cue.

'Hold Fire' will allow the user to 'Fire' cues and advance without actually executing the fire command.  If you are in AutoFire Mode, the 'Auto Fire' button starts the execution of the show from the beginning or from wherever you may have paused the show.  

'Pause' allows a executing show to be paused.  'Hold Fire' allows the show to continue running but none of the cues will execute.

In Show Director Sync Mode the 'Play' and 'Pause' buttons are disabled as we are slaved to the Show Director Play and Pause buttons.  However the 'Hold Fire' button will still keep cues from executing even though Show Director plays on.
