Transfer between Spotlight and older versions of Lightwright

Spotlight automatically transfers data between Spotlight and Lightwright version 5 and later. However, instrument data can also be transferred between Spotlight and versions of Lightwright earlier than 5.

Once lighting instruments and parameters have been specified in Spotlight, their information can be sent to Lightwright to perform paperwork processing. When the paperwork in Lightwright is complete, the data can be imported back into Spotlight to update the Spotlight light plot.

Spotlight includes Lightwright automated action files, which, when selected at installation, are located in the Extras folder. These files have the correct settings required for exchanging data with Spotlight, and need to be placed into Lightwright’s Automated Actions folder. Consult the Lightwright documentation for information on using these files.
