This means that if you have a Script File of 20 steps and the first 12 steps are
marked <, you have two Groups - steps 1 - 12 and steps 13 - 20.
17.4.4 Assigning Timecode to a Group of steps
You can now assign Timecode to different Groups of steps or to the whole

The Timecode digits are HH/MM/SS.FF standing for hours, minutes, seconds
and frames.

You will see an arrow pointing at one of the steps of the Script File.
• Press Softbutton E [ASSIGN TIMECODE].
• Press Softbutton A [SELECT A TIMER SOURCE] to select Internal
Clock or external Timecode, and to stop and start the Internal Clock. You
can type in a value (see the convention above) and press ENTER to load
it onto the Internal Clock if required.
• Either :
Press Softbutton B [ASSIGN TC TO FILE START] to assign the current
Timecode value to the beginning of the Script File. You can do this with
the Timecode stopped or running.
All steps in the file will be offset by this value, but retain their relative
timings.
Or :
Select one of the steps in a group using the Up and Down Cursors.
Press Softbutton C [ASSIGN TC TO GROUP] to assign the current
Timecode value to the first step in the Group. You can do this with the
Timecode stopped or running.
All steps in the Group will be offset by this value, but retain their relative
timings.
