Executor Options
Each executor can have a lot of options. This topic lists all the options and links to topics where they are described. If an option is not described anywhere else, then it is described here.
The Executor Options can be seen when there is a sequence or group assigned to an Executor. Pressing the Assign key following one of the keys associated with the executor will open the Assign Menu. On the right side of the Assign Menu there are a button called Options. This opens the Options part of the menu. It could look like this:
Each column has a topic or headline. The options are described below and they are organized in those topics.
Some of the options here are options for the executor and some are options for the sequence assigned to the executor.
The tile bar has three buttons that are relevant for the options. The left one is the Remember Settings button. Tapping this button will store the current options into the sequence and they will then apply if the sequence is played back from the Sequence Pool. Save Default Sequence Options will store the current options as the default. This default will be used when a new sequence is assigned to an Executor or when the Load Default Sequence Options button is tapped.

This function affects all other attributes than dimmers. If this is Off, then the attribute values will use the cue timing to fade from a value to the next. If this is On, then the attributes will change without any fade timing moving as fast as possible. Individual attributes timing is also ignored.
