The go button on a
lighting desk is the
button that the
lighting operator presses to move between
cues (or
memories). Depending on the
complexity of the
desk, and how the
lighting operator has it
set up, the go button may cause the next
transition to happen in a set length of time, of the time could be
programmed in on a per-
cue basis. If the
lighting operator is using a relatively
advanced lighting desk, and the
show or
play isn't particularly
complex, then he can easily go the whole
show just pressing the go button when the
DSM tells him.
