Wintermute User Guide

Buttons on a remote station exist in a rectangular grid defined when the device is initialised as a remote. This grid can represent multiple pages of buttons - the last button on each page is reserved for cycling through these pages.

Buttons can be initialised to do two thing:

• Fire a given cue in the main and backup Qlab machines using node_buttoncue
• Fire any single command from Wintermute using node_buttoncommand

Note that in both cases, the use of the live flag will mean that the button is not affected by Wintermute's remote button bypass.

If the live flag is omitted, the button text will be surrounded with curly brackets {} and will be bypassed when the bypass is engaged - this feature is designed to stop rehearsal/maintenance cues accidentally being fired during a show.
