The Status Display
The status line gives detail on the name of the file loaded, the position in the file, the current command being executed, and the next command.
Session Files
Session files are ASCII text files with a .csf extension. Each line is a command, with a delay in seconds before the command is processed allowing you to recreate an entire session from a connected PC.
So a typical session file would look like
0.2 M0
0.2 L
0.2 A0
0.2 B0
0.2 C73
0.2 D71
1 A5
1 A6
1 A7
1 A8
1 A9
1 A10
Running this session file will set Mode 0 (Pulse), Low Power, Channels All Zero, C Value set to 73 D Value Set to 71, then the A Channel Level will rise from 5% to 10% over 5 seconds.
