 Having set up the desk, the first to [[wiki:lighting:lighting_desks#cue|cues]] you will want to program are a Rig Check which should bring all all the lights in the rig to an intensity of about 30 over a time of at least a minute; and a BO (Black Out) which should bring all of the lights to intensity zero over a time of around 10 seconds. These [[wiki:lighting:lighting_desks#cue|cues]] should be utilized every night before doing anything else on the desk to check everything is working as expected. Having set up the desk, the first to [[wiki:lighting:lighting_desks#cue|cues]] you will want to program are a Rig Check which should bring all all the lights in the rig to an intensity of about 30 over a time of at least a minute; and a BO (Black Out) which should bring all of the lights to intensity zero over a time of around 10 seconds.

 This will take up a lot of time so you will need to find a balance between meticulous plotting and efficiency, there are some tools you can use such as intensity pallets that will help speed up this process.
