Show Control System How do I trigger active and inactive processor from a button?

Topic

  • Active and inactive scripting for DI-6000, VP-6000, and VIP-5160? (advanced scripting method)
  • Venus script for active and inactive scripting
  • Display Studio button to trigger Venus Control Suite scripts
  • Show Control's Display Studio script buttons
The active 6000 processor can be verified and changed in the Service Configuration.  However for quick changes in a live event settings, it is helpful to have a script button to make this change. 
Versions after  Show Control 2.13, do not require advanced scripting.  See: Show Control System: How do I switch between active and inactive VP/DI-6000 via scripting?
