How to test

When creating your show, you will want to make sure that your behaviours and dashboard items are working correctly. So we have built in a Test function (found in the top right hand corner of the scene builder) which will only run the scene you want to test as if the show was live.

• You can test before you connect, patch and pair any real hardware. You can operate Digital, Sensor and RFID inputs in the Overrides panel.
• You can also watch if the outputs update as you expect them to.
• Your Dashboard readouts will also change as they would when the show is actually live.
• You can also test a show by hitting Live and starting the show from the very beginning, including the Pre-show.

Testing Digital & Sensor Inputs

Digital and Sensor inputs are represented as toggle switches. If you wish to simulate a momentary button hold down SHIFT while clicking on the input.

Testing RFID Reader Inputs

Each RFID reader has a drop down, from which you can choose from any RFID item in the show.
