RSD's ABEdit Software - Show Editor (ABShow) Window

The Show Editor window is where the show is programmed.

Show Editor Window

The output selection at the top left of the window determines whether data gets transferred to and from the AudioBox via the MIDI port or the SCSI port.

The left column is the "tree" view of all of the cuurently loaded shows along with all their contents.

The right column displays the contents of whatever is selected in the left column. In this case, the messages for Cue 16 are displayed. The top of each column always lists, in order of hierarchy (Show\List\Path\Cue), what is being viewed.

Back to Parent The 'Back to Parent' button displays the next highest level in the right column. In this case, it would list all the cues in the current path.
